LOL, I was going to say the opposite, but of course I have played both and WOTC takes everything good from XCom 2, builds on it and adds more interactions and challenge without becoming brutal. I would say maybe not a complete play through, but perhaps 10-15 hours to get all the mechanics and a good feel for the story, then start WOTC since it technically starts anew and not where XCom 2 leaves off.

Ultimately personal preference, but you can jump into WOTC and not really miss any of the story points from XCom 2.
