3rd Jan 2015 | FA Cup
My Call Bolton
The Trotters are unbeaten at home under Neil Lennon and the price is only good because Wigan have done well in the FA Cup in recent years, which should be irrelevant here.
Malky Mackay has vowed to put out a strong team for this local derby but based on Wigan results this season it could easily be argued that he doesn’t possess such a thing!
The Latics are given every chance of progressing based on their recent FA Cup record but that’s all history now and these players are not performing anywhere near the level of the past two seasons. They are 23rd in the Championship after a run of one win in their last 10 outings.
Bolton won this fixture 3-1 in the league in mid-November and the Trotters are generally resurgent under Neil Lennon after one loss in nine games. They are also unbeaten at the Macron Stadium under the former Celtic boss (W5 D1).
The hosts are therefore a real bargain at a best price of 9/5 with Bet365.
