Analysis Bournemouth

The home team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of using the home advantage to get a positive result. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a away draw against Brighton & Hove Albion by (2‑2). AFC Bournemouth has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Bournemouth comes for this match after a 2-2 away draw against Brighton. The home team should play a 4-3-3 tactical system to try to take advantage of the counterattacks. Bournemouth is likely to take a more offensive stance in order to try to control the whole match. The coach of Bournemouth won’t count on Defoe, Brad Smith and Tyrone Mings for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Artur Boruc, Adam Smith, Nathan Aké, Steve Cook, Bradley Smith, Andrew Surman, Emerson Hyndman, Connor Mahoney, Ryan Fraser, Benik Afobe, Lys Mousset.
Coach: G. O'Neil.

Wigan comes motivated for this match after a 0-1 triumph at Northhampton ground: Powell, in the 5 minute, scored the only goal of the match. The visiting team usually plays in 4-3-3, giving more importance to a paused and ball possession playing style, progressing on the pitch, mainly through the centre aisle. The three arrows aimed at the "enemy" goal will be Jacobs, Massey and Grigg, with Morsy, Evans and Powell in the midfield. One of the great gaps of the visiting team is the finishing of the danger opportunities they can create.

Confirmed Lineup: Christian Walton, Reece James, Cheyenne Dunkley, Nathan Byrne, Dan Burn, Nick Powell, Michael Jacobs, Sam Morsy, Max Power, Gavin Massey, Will Grigg.
Coach: L. Richardson.
