There is an all-League One clash in the FA Cup Second round on Saturday as Cambridge United host Wigan Athletic for the second time this season. Garry Monk’s U’s picked up their first league win against Wigan (2-0) a while back and it was the turning point of their season. The Latics still look strong defensively but struggle for goals. This is going to be an interesting match prediction to make!
Cambridge started the season terribly, but have now lost just one of their last nine games in all competitions. They have drawn their last three matches however, 1-1 at home to Barnsley, 0-0 at Northampton and in midweek a 1-1 draw at home to Bolton.
They remain 22nd in the League One table and reached the Second round of the FA Cup thanks to a 1-0 away win over Woking.
Wigan boss Shaun Maloney sees his team lying 15th in League One after a season typefied by inconsistency. A lack of goals has hampered what has been a great defensive effort, with just 15 goals scored in 16 games, but just 13 conceded.
They defeated Carlisle United 2-0 in the First round of the FA Cup to reach this stage. They have won their two most recent games, 1-0 away to Barnsley last weekend and then a 2-1 win over Northampton in midweek. But they were their only two wins in the last seven (two draws, three defeats).

Our Cambridge United vs Wigan Prediction
Our prediction for the Cambridge United vs. Wigan Athletic FA Cup Second Round tie is: Cambridge United to win.
After a torrid start to the season, Cambridge United have found much better form of late. Wigan have been strong defensively, but are still struggling for goals. The Latics also have a poor record away to Cambridge, losing the last two games at the Cledara Abbey Stadium. With their form patchy and Cambridge going well, the form book does tend to point towards a narrow home win.
