Betting suggestion:

In this match, the home team will have to assume all the expenses of the match and take advantage of some defensive failures to reach the goals. On the other hand, Wigan should only look for the counterattack, a transition that will not pose much danger to the opponent. So, and also taking into account the difference of the squads, betting in favor of the home team at the end of 45 minutes is a good option.

Analysis Leicester

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive result, using the home advantage in their favour. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 37 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 11 conceded. They come to this match after a away win against Newcastle United by (0‑3). Leicester City has won 7, tied 2 and lost 1 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times, but have turned the score around in 2. In the last 11 home matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 7 of their 19 goals between minutes (61'‑75'); they have conceded 4 of their 9 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Leicester City comes for this match after a 0-3 win against Newcastle, thus adding the second consecutive victory in this league: the goals were scored by Perez, Maddison and Choudhury. In this match against Wigan Athletic, the coach Brendon Rodgers should keep the team in 4-4-2 with Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy the most offensive references of the team: the second athlete mentioned is the best scorer of Leicester with 17 scored goals. For this match, the home team’s coach can count on all their players.
