Manchester United – Wigan Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (29.01.2017)

Win Manchester United Asian Handicap -1.5

Interesting game, is what awaits us at Old Trafford, when for the fourth round of the FA Cup, one of the candidates to win it as is Manchester United, receive the visit of modest Wigan.

Special game for coach Warren Joyce, and as you know, he was coach of United reserves between 2008 and 2016, before deciding to carry out his own career as a director and take the reins of Wigan. And so, despite being part of Old Trafford, Joyce had seen with his own eyes the development of future stars like Pogba, Rashford among others and now that has them as rivals wants to enjoy the game.

Things going to Wigan did not start well, but in the last few weeks this has changed, as they come from beating Brentford 2-1 to add their third consecutive win, which allowed him to leave the downhill, though At the moment it is by difference of goals; And while the mind is set to maintain the category in the English Championship, Joyce decided to get away with everything to this game, with players like Grigg, Wildschut Yanic and Michael Jacobs.

For their part, those led by José Mourinho have come from suffering a 2-1 defeat to Hull City, a defeat that keeps him in the League Cup race, cut a 17-game unbeaten run and now against Wigan There is no talk of anything but recovering the way of victories and thus start a new one that allows him to achieve his objectives of obtaining a title and to classify the UEFA Champions League.

For this game, Mourinho has decided to make variants, so Sergio Romero will replace David de Gea in the bow, Marcus Rashford will occupy the position of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and will be accompanied by Wayne Rooney, while Anthony Martial also takes place in the stellar eleven.
As for direct confrontations, it must be said that there is a huge superiority on the part of Manchester United, who in 18 clashes, won with 17 of them, where Wigan barely won in one shot; The last time they met was in a pre-season test match last July, in which United 2-0.

So while Joyce knows the development of Manchester United by his work in the inferiors of the team and Wigan is on a winning streak, I do not think that the “Red Devils” are surprised again, play at home and know they have the great opportunity To achieve a victory that allows them to start a new run that will lead them to achieve their goals, and no matter how much Mourinho makes modifications, I rely on a victory for two or more goals difference in this game, due to the level of both teams.

Possible alignments:
Manchester United: Romero; Smalling, Red, Valencia, Shaw; Fellaini, Herrera, Mkhitaryan; Rooney, Martial, Rashford.
Wigan: Haugaard; Burn, Buxton, Warnock, Kellett; MacDonald, Morsey, Power, Jacobs; Wildschut, Grigg.
