Wigan vs Manchester United Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals has landed in eight of Wigan’s last ten matches.
• Manchester United have scored just one goal in their last four away games.
• Two of Manchester United’s four away wins this season have been by a 1-0 scoreline.

Wigan target giant killing

Sitting eighth in the Premier League table and eliminated from both European competition and the League Cup, the FA Cup is Manchester United’s only route to silverware this season and they should avoid a giant-killing at the DW Stadium on Monday.

Hosts Wigan sit 52 positions below their visitors in the footballing pyramid and have scored just five goals in their last six matches. Facing a Manchester United side that have struggled to break down deep defences this term, we could be in for a turgid affair in the north west.

Goals in short supply at DW Stadium

The Red Devils have won only two of their last nine competitive games and have scored only one goal in their last four away games. They should add to that tally here, but don’t expect many fireworks against a Wigan side likely to sit deep and frustrate the visitors.

Under 2.5 goals has landed in three of Manchester United’s last four away games and Wigan have seen fewer than three goals in ten of their last 12 in all competitions, including each of their last four at home.

Backing a low-scoring game appeals and, with two of Manchester United’s four away victories coming by a 1-0 scoreline this season, that looks the most likely correct score prediction.
