Mansfield Town vs Wigan Prediction and Betting Tips | January 11, 2025

Mansfield Town host Wigan at One Call Stadium in the FA Cup on Saturday. The hosts will hope to stretch their winning run while Wigan will seek to return to winning ways.

Mansfield humbled fellow League One side Stevenage 1-0 in the second round. That win was followed by a three-game winless streak (L-L-D). However, the hosts have got back on their feet, claiming four wins in their last five matches and will head into Saturday’s clash following two straight wins.

The Stags earned promotion from League Two last season and are eying a possible qualification to the Championship. They are ninth in the table, tied on 37 points with two other teams. They need to be in the top six to contend for a qualification spot. Mansfield prevailed 2-1 in their previous clash with Wigan.

The visitors, meanwhile, beat fellow League One side Cambridge United 2-1 in the second round. It was a difficult game for both teams, who were forced into extra time before Wigan eventually came out on top. Wigan couldn’t progress beyond the third round last season, getting knocked out by Manchester United.

The Latics, who won the FA Cup in 2012–13, could be eying another coup in this edition but they aren't in great shape, as evidenced by their league standing. They are 17th out of 24 teams, holding 27 points on the board, midway through the campaign. Wigan won 2-1 in their last trip to Mansfield.
