Arsenal – Wigan Tip FA Cup, 4th round on Sunday, 15.02.26 at 17:30
It’s not as if the Gunners’ board can’t live with it if they don’t have the FA Cup in their cup case.
After all, next weekend it would be the first time since the 2019/20 season that the illustrious club would advance to the fifth round of this prestigious competition.
And “normally” I would be a bit cautious! Because with the many scheduling obligations of the Londoners, my optimism regarding the Arsenal Wigan prognosis I finally chose for Sunday would be a little more restrained.
But victory Arsenal with HC -3 at odds around 2.32 is absolutely possible. The third division team, which is threatened by relegation, must fear for its stay in English professional football, while the way to the 4th round was probably only possible through a very friendly draw fairy.
The club from Football League One has finally defeated mostly lesser-known clubs such as Hemel Hempstead, Barrow and Preston in the previous rounds – in two cases it even had to go to penalties!
Arsenal vs Wigan AI Predictions:
Our Arsenal Wigan AI prediction is independent in its evaluation and therefore comes to the conclusion to classify my own betting decision from the headline as a bit too risky.
I can live with this assessment, but I have to admit that the alternative suggested by our digital football brain certainly appeals to me.
Asian HC: Arsenal (-3.0) builds in a small hedge at odds around 1.81 in case it should be 3:0 or 4:1 for the favorite in the end – and that may not be so nonsensical!
After all, a lot will actually depend on which line-up Mikel Arteta will send onto the field after the London derby against Brentford. It is definitely worthwhile to wait as long as possible before submitting your own Arsenal Wigan tip to a verified German betting provider.

The player bet Gyökeres scores is one that should not disappoint, especially in a game of this kind. The Swede has already scored four goals in the last two weeks or so against weaker clubs such as Sunderland, Leeds and Kairat Almaty.
If he plays against the third division team from the start, he could really let off steam! 2+ goals: Gyökeres is at slightly higher Arsenal Wigan odds of around 2.47 at Betano Germany so maybe even the slightly better option.
Both teams to score – No, but in the end I would rather ignore it as a betting suggestion. The odds are low at an average of 1.50 and I don’t think the Londoners will send their best players onto the field anyway.
And with a 5-0 lead, Arteta probably wouldn’t be too itchy if the third-division team scored his honorary goal, which is why I will probably stick to pure handicap bets in the end.
