After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Charlton Athletic and Wigan Athletic in this fresh League One season. Read our match preview!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Charlton Athletic form and stats
Charlton Athletic are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two League One games here at The Valley.
Stress levels are on the rise for Charlton's attacking players as they have now played 203 minutes without scoring in a league game. C. Washington was their last goal scorer.
Charlton drew their last game, also a home match. Sunderland (placed 7th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a EFL Trophy home game that ended 1-1 versus Brighton U21.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Charlton have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost zero.
There will be little rest for Charlton after this match as they are travelling to Blackpool for a League One game in only three days.
Charlton Athletic has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Wigan Athletic form and stats
Things could have gone better for Wigan Athletic in their League One away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
There might be some fixture complaints from Wigan Athletic as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the League One match against Crewe Alexandra (0-3). A 1-3 loss hosting Port Vale before that.
It's a bit worrying for Wigan that their goalkeeper Jamie Jones made six saves in the Crewe Alexandra game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
Wigan are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, seven draws and ten defeats. From a total of 17 matches.
A quick return to home after this game, as Wigan Athletic are hosting Peterborough United in the League One only three days away.
The attacking power of Wigan when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. The Wigan manager J. Sheridan has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - three - four (Charlton Athletic wins - draws - Wigan Athletic wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
