Wigan vs Fulham Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 8th February 2025

When Fulham come to The Brick Community Stadium for the FA Cup match this coming Saturday, Wigan will be hoping to use their home advantage to their advantage.

Both Wigan and Fulham aim to show their respective set of fans they are the better side on Saturday, and we are bound to see an exciting game.

Wigan go into their next FA Cup match, scoring a humble average of 1.4 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 14 times, while conceding ten. That amounts to an average of one per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring four times.

Fulham scored 16 goals, conceded 13 and managed four clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Having never shared a season in the FA Cup in recent past, this is the first time Wigan comes up against Fulham in this context.

Wigan vs Fulham Prediction

Wigan Form

Wigan recorded a win, a loss and a draw in their previous three matches, where they first beat Bristol Rovers 2-0. They were then defeated 1-0 against Peterborough, before drawing 1-1 against Lincoln City. Wigan just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six FA Cup matches at the The Brick Community Stadium. They also drew one and lost four of these six encounters, in which they scored six and conceded 11 goals.

Fulham Form

Two victories are what Fulham have to show from their past three matches, as they first beat Leicester 0-2. This was followed by a 0-1 defeat against Manchester United, before winning again 1-2 against Newcastle. Fulham performed a very admirable four wins in six FA Cup away matches, drawing none but losing twice as well. They scored ten times, while also conceding nine goals.

Fulham are in for a win this coming Saturday, but at The Brick Community Stadium we expect Wigan to put up a fight and limit the expected defeat.
