Stoke City and Wigan Athletic meet at the bet365 Stadium this Saturday in an intriguing FA Cup tie. The Potters have been in poor form of late and have dropped into mid-table in the EFL Championship, while the Latics are riding high in second position in EFL League One at present. Stoke are the favourites on home soil, but Wigan will certainly fancy their chances of upsetting the hosts. Take a look at the latest odds and top tips.

Stoke City Preview – Can the Potters put poor form to bed with a cup win?

Stoke City were pushing for a play-off place in the Championship not so long ago, but a poor run of results has seen them slip well off the pace and down to mid-table. Michael O’Neill’s boys have picked up just two wins form their past ten league games, losing six times along the way.

Nevertheless, they have a good record in the cup competitions this term, winning four of five. The Potters eased to victory over Leyton Orient in the previous round of the FA Cup, with Tom Ince and Tyrese Campbell on target in the 2-0 home success.

Our betting prediction:
Wigan to be leading at half time
4/1

(odds taken 1403 GMT, Friday 4 February)

 
Stoke would take any kind of win at the moment to get back on track, and they are the bookies’ favourites in this one at 3/4.

Wigan Athletic Preview – Can the League One outfit stun the Championship side?

Wigan Athletic will be hoping their season ends with promotion to the Championship, with the Latics currently sitting second on 56 points. So far, Leam Richardson’s side have won 17, drawn five and lost four of 26 league fixtures. They also have games in hand on the teams around them.

Wigan are on a staggering unbeaten run at present, winning 15 and drawing five of their last 20 in all competitions. They beat Championship high-flyers Blackburn Rovers in the third round of the FA Cup, with an own goal and efforts from Max Power and Thelo Aasgaard securing a 3-2 success.
