LiontipsMansfield Town - Wigan. Betting Tip and bets for the FA Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Mansfield Town finished third in League Two last season, which was enough to earn promotion straight to League 1. After 21 games at this level, the team has managed to reach ninth place. The hosts have been particularly successful since mid-December. During this period, they managed to win over Rotherham (1:0), Peterborough United (3:0) and Bolton (2:1). The only setback was a tough away defeat to Reading (1:2). Thanks to their success, the Stags have moved within four points of the playoff zone.

Current form
Wigan have considerable experience of playing in the English Premier League, but now they look weaker than even modest Mansfield. The visitors occupy only 17th place in the third-level division of English football. The team is too unstable and after a series of successful matches, they have a series of outright failures. Having beaten strong Bolton (2:0) and Rotherham (1:0) away, Wigan then suffered two defeats in a row, from Wrexham (1:2) and Birmingham (0:3). In the previous round of the cup, the visitors managed to get past Cambridge United only in extra time.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their squad ahead of the cup match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team lost the last two matches
- None of Wigan last five away games have ended in a draw

2.30Tip and bets
Mansfield Town have managed to settle into League One and are showing good results. Right now, the team is in great shape and can go through at least a couple of rounds in the FA Cup. The visitors are currently in a slump and are unlikely to consider playing in the cup their priority. Most likely, the hosts will once again please their fans and leave Wigan outside the tournament.
Our prediction is Mansfield win at 2.02
Bet on total
The hosts have demonstrated a good defensive performance and have kept a clean sheet in many recent matches. We believe that in the match with Wigan, the League One newcomer will rely on defense, so it is unlikely that we will see a productive game here.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.78
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.20
