Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Wigan
Charlton Athletic will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Barnsley when they take on Wigan Athletic in the League One round 40. The Red Robins are stuck in the middle of the table with little to play for, but their pride will surely be at stake in the season finale. Terell Thomas limped off with injury in the last league fixture, with Tyreew Bakinson pushing for a rare start.
The Latics, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league matches, with the team dropping down to the 13th place in the table. Wigan and Charlton, though, seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils in the midweek clash. Both Josh Stones and Jordan Jones remain on the sidelines due to the lack of fitness, with all Sean Clare, Luke Cambers, Stephan Humphrys, and Josh Magennis missing out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jason Kerr):
Jason Kerr is a professional footballer who plays for St Johnstone as a defender. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on February 6, 1997, Jason Kerr is a product of the St Johnstone football academy. He started his senior career in 2014, and after ending his loan spells with East Fife and Queen of the South, he returned to the McDiarmid Park outfit in 2018.
He made his debut with the Saints in the Scottish Cup game against Albion Rovers on January 29, 2019. Jason Kerr has six caps with the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to receive a call-up for the senior team.
He scored his first goal for St Johnstone in a 4-1 defeat to Rangers on February 27, 2018. His primary position on the field is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing good displays as a central midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right, and he wears the number 15 shirt at St Johnstone.
Highlighted Team (Charlton):
Charlton Athletic are yet another capital club that will compete in the 2019/2020 Championship season. Founded back in 1905, the Red Robins welcome their opponents at the Valley, the stadium which can hold up to 28,111 spectators. Charlton Athletic wear red shirts and white shorts when playing on home soil, whereas black is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Winning of the 1946/1947 FA Cup trophy is considered the club’s biggest success. The Red Robins defeated Burnley 1-0 in the title game, with Chris Duffy scoring the winner for Jimmy Seed’s charges in extra-time.
Fellow capital clubs Crystal Palace and Millwall are regarded as Charlton’s fiercest rivals, whilst Samuel Bartram, who made 579 appearances for the club is one of the most famous footballers who played for the Valley outfit. The club based in London will compete in the English second tier in the 2019/2020 season following a three-year absence.
