York City vs Wigan Athletic Prediction 01.12.2023

• Competition: England FA Cup
• Date: 01.12.2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: LNER Community Stadium (York)

York advanced to the 2nd round of the FA Cup after defeating Chester 2-1 in a rematch. The first match between these two National League teams ended in a 0-0 draw. York, a team from the lower half of the 5th table in the FA competition rank, has been struggling for survival. However, recently they have shown some improvement. Their upcoming cup match against Wigan will be a good opportunity to gauge their current performance level.

Not long ago, Wigan was part of the Premier League. However, they now compete in League One, the third level of English football. The football association’s deduction of 8 points due to financial issues greatly affected their ranking, placing them mid-table. While it’s unlikely they’ll challenge for the top spots, they are also not in immediate danger of relegation.

York City vs Wigan Athletic prediction: UNDER 3.5 GOALS

York have lost just once in their previous 7 matches but this should be the toughest of all those matches. Wigan have been defeated only once in the previous 11 matches and only once have they conceded more than 1 goal in the only defeat against Charlton.

For Wigan, the FA Cup is the only chance to reach an attractive rival and match this season, and that will definitely be a great motivation for this team, which is unlucky this season, both in terms of individual results and the penalties they have received. We expect the visiting team to win, but a very good betting option is under 3.5 goals total.
