FA Cup First Round weekend is always a big deal for lower league teams, who want to progress into the third round to earn a chance of a draw against the big boys. Carlisle United and Wigan Athletic will battle it out for a spot in the Second Round this weekend. Does our prediction foretell a shock win for the Blues, or will the Latics take victory in the match?
The Cumbrians have lost 10 of their 14 matches played this season, winning just two. That record means they sit 23rd in the table and battling against the drop into the National League.
Without a win in seven, Carlisle lost 3-1 at Walsall and then were beaten 1-0 at home by Cheltenham last weekend.
Wigan lie 19th in League One. Defensively, they are solid with only Wrexham conceding fewer than their eleven goals in 13 games this season. However, scoring goals remains a problem with just a dozen goals.
However, after a slow start where they lost three of their first four, they have since lost just two of their next nine. Although they have had four 0-0 draws in that run. They warmed up for this game with a 2-2 draw at Blackpool last weekend.

Our Carlisle United vs Wigan Prediction
Our prediction for the Carlisle United vs. Wigan Athletic FA Cup First Round tie is: Wigan Athletic to win.
This season has been a struggle for Carlisle United who sit 91st out of the 92 teams in the Football League and Premier League. Wigan have not been the most freescoring team, but they are very solid defensively and they seem perfectly set up to put the home side to the sword here and claim the win that will earn them a place in the second round of the competition.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
