There is FA Cup action at Field Mill this weekend as the Stags of Mansfield Town face a Third-round match with Wigan Athletic for a place in round four. Will our prediction back the home side to progress, or can the Latics spring a surprise?
Mansfield occupy the ninth spot in League One, while Wigan lies 17th, with ten points between the two teams. In the FA Cup, Mansfield won both previous ties away from home. A 4-0 win at Curzon Ashton in the First Round and a 1-0 win over Stevenage in the Second Round.
The Latic's FA Cup adventure also started with two away victories. A First Round 2-0 win over Carlisle United, followed by a 2-1 win over Cambridge United in the Second Round at the tail end of November.
Recent results have been good for Mansfield with four wins in five. They were 3-0 winners at Peterborough before losing 2-1 away to Reading. Since then, they beat Bolton 2-1 at home and then Stockport 2-1 away in their most recent fixture.
Wigan's past results have been less impressive; a 2-2 home draw with Shrewsbury was followed by a 1-0 win away to Rotherham. However, the Latics then lost 2-1 at Wrexham and then 3-0 at home to Birmingham in their last fixture.

Our Mansfield Town vs Wigan Prediction
Our prediction for the Mansfield Town vs. Wigan Athletic FA Cup Third Round tie is: Mansfield Town wins the match.
While FA Cup ties can be tricky to predict, the data here all points to a win for the home team Stags. Mansfield's recent form and long-term form in the league is stronger than Wigan's and the Latics recent form is not as strong as Mansfield. The Stags won the league game between the two, away from home, earlier this season and a similar result looks likely in this cup tie.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
