Analysis Wigan

The home team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (Quarter‑finals) after having played in the previous rounds against: Manchester City, West Ham United, AFC Bournemouth, Fylde and Crawley Town. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 36 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 13 conceded.

Although they play in the English third division, the home team didn’t shake and beat Manchester City in the last tie of the FA Cup. By facing a second division team, the home team should opt for a more defensive strategy, with the lines drawn, exploiting only the space available in the defense of the opponent. Most likely Wigan will organize in 4-2-3-1. It’s important to note that Will Grigg is Wigan's top scorer with 18 goals scored in several competitions. For this match, the coach Paul Cook can count on all his players.

Confirmed Lineup: Christian Walton, Nathan Byrne, Callum Elder, Cheyenne Dunkley, Dan Burn, Sam Morsy, Max Power, Gary Roberts, Michael Jacobs, Gavin Massey, Will Grigg.

This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 19 conceded.

In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

On the other hand, forward Charlie Austin is the player who stands out, having contributed with 6 goals in this championship, however, is absent from the match due to injury. Besides this player, the coach won’t count on Yoshida, also due to physical problems.
