Wigan set to dent Charlton’s survival hopes
3047

On Saturday afternoon, relegation-threatened Charlton host Wigan at the Valley in a Championship match that could be crucial to the Addicks chances of survival.

Charlton are currently 21st place in the Championship, only outside the relegation zone by two points. A victory in this clash could go along way to securing the home sides second-tier status this season.

A five-game winless run in the second tier has contributed to the Addicks current precarious position in the Championship table. Last time out, they drew 1-1 with another struggling team Birmingham.

The game at St Andrew's produced another low-scoring game for the home side, as seven of their last eight league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Their recent form at the Valley has not helped their chances of Championship survival, as they have lost three of their last four home matches in the second tier. Their recent Championship games on home soil have followed that familiar low-scoring trend, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games.

Wigan have enjoyed a fine recent run of form, moving up to 13th place in the Championship table. An 8-0 humiliation of Hull at the DW Stadium last time out means that the Latics have won five of their previous seven league matches.

The game also saw Paul Cook’s team keep a ninth clean sheet from their previous ten league games.

The visitors are 12 points clear of the relegation zone but face a points deduction of 12 points due to going into administration. However, a win in this clash would be enough to secure their safety, as two of the bottom three Hull and Luton play each other this weekend.

Forebet predicts that Wigan will continue their recent good run of form by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter. A defeat would be a massive blow to the home sides chances of survival.
