Prediction: 1-0
Charlton
Peterborough and Charlton will look horns at Weston Homes Stadium in a highly-anticipated League One encounter. The Posh defeated Reading thanks to Ephron Mason-Clark’s goal in their opener, with the team surviving Swindon Town in the EFL Cup round 1 on Tuesday and, no doubt, they are high on confidence ahead of the visit of Charlton. Key attacker Jonson Clarke-Harris returns to the starting XI after he was rested in the midweek clash.
The capital club, on the other hand, head into the match following a 3-1 loss to Newport County. As Charlton are not regarded as good travellers, we predict that Peterborough are going to win this derby. Talented midfielder Richard Chin limped off with injury against the Exiles, with Tyreece Campbell likely to return to the starting line-up. It has to be noted that Charlton have not defeated Peterborough in a competitive match since August 2015.
Highlighted Player (Jonson Clarke Harris):
The Leicester born striker started his career at Coventry City, joining their youth academy at the age of 15. Harris, who holds both the English and Jamaican citizenship, chose to represent the former but is yet to feature for any of England's international levels. He made his first professional debut on the 10th of August 2010, in a 2-0 League Cup loss to Morecambe, a feature that made him the youngest player to ever appear for Coventry.
After successive loan moves where he made little impact, Harris left the Sky Blues to join Oldham Athletic in May 2013 on a year-long contract. His excellence earned him the Young Player of the Season award and a high profile move to Rotherham United at the end of the season in a deal worth 350,000 euros. After several inconsistent performances, Harris left the Millers.
He then went on to play for MK Dons and Doncaster on loan before re-joining Coventry for a second spell where-in he helped the club in promoting to League One. Born on the 21st of July 1994, the 25-year-old is known for his physicality and hold-up play and currently plies his trade for Bristol, whom he joined at the start of 2019.
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.
