Wigan v Charlton

Wigan vs Charlton Preview

Wigan Athletic will be going in search of a fourth league win on the trot in the English third tier on Tuesday night when they play host to Charlton Athletic at the DW Stadium as the hosts look to continue their revival and pull themselves further away from the relegation zone, while Charlton Athletic will be wanting to avoid a third defeat on the trot.

After having had to endure a worrying four-match losing streak which had resulted in Wigan dropping down the League One table following defeats to Bristol Rovers, Portsmouth, Burton Albion and Stevenage respectively, The Latics have since put together an impressive sequence of results in recent weeks.

Important wins against Exeter City, Oxford United and Shrewsbury Town have helped lift Wigan away from immediate danger of the bottom four clubs although the hosts will be wanting to extend this winning streak when Charlton visit.

Having also picked up four wins within their opening six home games at the DW Stadium as well, Wigan Athletic look to have a decent chance of gaining a positive result here on Tuesday night, especially as The Latics have lost just three of their previous 13 home games, picking up eight wins in the process.

Charlton Athletic have dropped down the League One table to 15th place following recent back-to-back defeats at the hands of Lincoln City and Bolton Wanderers respectively, as The Addicks have struggled to rekindle their earlier previous encouraging set of results.

After making a miserable start to this new League One campaign which consisted of just one win from their opening five games and losing the other four, the London club then turned things around by putting together a solid looking seven-match unbeaten run which consisted of four wins and three draws.

Points picked up in draws with Stevenage, Shrewsbury Town and Blackpool were boosted by wins collected against the likes of Fleetwood Town, Wycombe Wanderers, Exeter City and Reading but impressive though they were, the problem is that all of these wins were recorded on home soil at The Valley.

Switch to results away from home though, and you'll see that Charlton Athletic have managed to capture just one win from their previous nine outings on the road which also includes five defeats within this period as well, thus making this upcoming trip to the DW Stadium a potentially tricky one for the visitors.

Wigan Athletic v Charlton Athletic Verdict

Recent previous meetings have also seen Wigan Athletic holding the upper hand as The Latics have won the last two encounters on the trot against Charlton with 2-1 and 2-0 victories, so this upcoming clash could see the hosts extend their winning streak here.
