Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Sparkles will be flying when Wigan Athletic and Charlton Athletic lock horns in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Tuesday’s program. The Latics aim to extend their winning run to four games and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet in the League One. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, Callum Lang could sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 2-0 win over Shrewsbury.
The Red Robins, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Lincoln and Bolton. As Charlton Athletic suffered a dip in form, we predict that the high-flying hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the postponed League One fixture. As for the away side, Ireland midfielder Louie Watson should be recalled to the starting eleven.
Highlighted Team (Wigan):
Wigan Athletic are one of the winners of the English FA Cup. The Latics won the prestigious trophy in 2013, with the team upsetting Manchester City in the title game. This is considered the club’s biggest success, but it has to be noted that Wigan played in the UEFA Europa League in the 2013/2014 season.
Wigan have been playing their home games at the DW Stadium since 1999 and they had played at Springfield Park in the past. Chorley are considered Wigan’s fierce rivals, but the two teams last met in 1971, when they competed in the Northern Premier League. The likes of Preston North End, Bury, Oldham Athletic, Burnley and Blackburn Rovers are regarded as Wigan Athletic’s rivals as well.
The club was founded in 1932 and they competed in the English Premier League from 2005 to 2013. The colour of Wigan’s home kit is blue and white (stripes).
