English FA CUP
2006-01-07 - Wigan Athletic vs Leeds United
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Wigan enters this match on a back of two defeats in the Premiership while Leeds United have enjoyed a good run over the Christmas and New Year periods. In their only FA Cup meeting previously, Leeds United won which was way back in 1987.
However, when these two sides met in The Championships last season, it was Wigan who won both meetings. Paul Jewell will likely give defender Paul Scharner a starting spot in this match after he completed his move from Brann Bergen in the January transfer market. Emerson Thome is out through injury while Henri Camara is not available as he joins Senegal for the Africans Nations Cup in Egypt.
As for Leeds United, Kevin Blackwell side is missing the services of long term Steve Stone while on loan player from Manchester United Liam Miller is available after the club extended his term. After playing for Cardiff on loan Michael Ricketts is back with Leeds and competition in the side is stiff as Richard Cresswell, Robbie Blake, David Healy and Rob Hulse are all pushing to start this match.
I will go for the Championship side Leeds United not to get beaten and accept the 1/2 ball on offer here.
Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
