Our prediction for this League 1 match:
High-flying Charlton Athletic will look to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Lincoln in London on Saturday. The Red Robins have been in a splendid form of late, but that will not help them book their place in the playoffs. Conor Washington, who did not represent Northern Ireland in March friendlies, will be one of the men to watch in the home team. The Imps, on the other hand, are nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Lincoln, on the other hand, are nine points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they should be happy with one point from Saturday’s clash. A close encounter is on the cards at the Valley, and, taking everything into account, we believe that the two teams are going to share the spoils on Matchday 41. Defender Adam Jackson, who limped off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Shrewsbury, is rated doubtful for the away side.
Highlighted Player (Jake Forster-Caskey ):
Born in Southend-on-Sea, England on April 25, 1994 Jake Forster-Caskey is a midfielder who plays for Charlton Athletic in the League One. Forster-Caskey started his both youth and senior careers at Brighton & Hove Albion and it has to be noted that he scored five goals in 67 league appearances for the Seagulls first team.
After spending a couple of seasons on loan at the likes of Oxford United, Milton Keynes Dons and Rotherham United, the English footballer signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Charlton Athletic in the winter of 2017. Jake quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the capital club, scoring 5 goals in 43 appearances in the 2017/2018 League One campaign.
However, he was out of contention for most of the 2018/2019 season with a serious knee injury. His main position is central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as both defensive and left midfielder as well.
Highlighted Team (Lincoln):
Lincoln City are one of the oldest clubs competing in the League One as they were founded back in 1884. Lincoln City FC were established as an amateur association, but they turned professional in the 1891/1892 season.
Back then they played at John O’Gaunts stadium, but nowadays Sincil Bank is the club’s home ground. Sincil Bank was opened in 1895, holding up to 10,120 people. The club’s main colours are red, white and black, whilst the Imps wear green shirts and white shorts when playing on the road. Lincoln City and Mansfield Town are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals, but the Limps had some sort of local rivalry with Peterborough United, Hull City and York City as well.
Albert Iremonger (42 years and 312 days) is the oldest footballer to have played for the club, whilst Shane Nicholson (16 years and 112 days) is the youngest one. Lincoln City recorded a thrilling 9-1 victory over then local rivals Sleaford in their first game.
