Charlton athletic will be going into the midweek match against Wigan athletic opening for three points that would keep them in the Championship for next season. Charlton are just two points above the drop zone with two matches left in the campaign.
Hence, the club will be able to avoid relegation if they get three points against Wigan. This would give them unassailable five point advantage over the likes of Blackpool and Birmingham, who are very close to the relegation zone. Charlton have been involved in a relegation battle for most of the season, but a good run of form in the last two weeks have been very helpful to the team.
In the matches against Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton, the club managed four points. They could be the crucial points behind their safety. Charlton returned to the championship only recently after their stint in League One.
Jose Riga told the statistics site brazilie mexico cote that he is extremely working hard towards helping the team secure safety before the final day of the season. However, it is easier said than done because Wigan are chasing a promotion spot. They are level on points with Reading in the sixth place of the Championship. A victory could prove to them closer towards securing a play-off spot.
“In this Championship, you can never expect a result. Each team is able to beat the other team. We know what we have to do against Watford. We know that destiny is still in our hands and I hope we will do the job in the next game and not wait for the last one. We have to do what we have to do. What gives me the confidence is what we already have done in the past. We have beaten big teams away like Leeds and Nottingham Forest,” said Riga.
