Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Monday’s clash between Portsmouth and Charlton Athletic will bring down the curtain on day 30 of the current League One campaign. Portsmouth failed to spoil Sunderland’s party at Stadium of Light, with the team extending their winless run to four games. The Pompey are desperate to stay in the playoffs race, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Red Robins. Paul Downing is a major doubt, while Reeco Hackett-Fairchild has overcome his injury.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Fleetwood Town. Since both sides will go for a win in Monday’s showdown, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. Northern Ireland international Conor Washington is widely expected to return to Charlton Athletic’s starting line-up.
Highlighted Player (Ellis Harrison):
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.
