Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Saturday’s football game at Broadhall Way pits together Stevenage and Charlton Athletic, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Boro are eager to retain top position in the standings and you should know that they have yet to suffer a loss at home ground this term. A man to watch in the home team will be Jamie Reid, who scored a brace in a 2-2 draw with Carlisle United, while experienced forward Kane Hemmings is pushing for a start.
The Red Robins, on the other hand, are no longer considered one of the teams to beat in the League One, with the team sitting in 17th place in the standings ahead of Saturday’s clash. Seeing that the capital club have been struggling on the travels in the new season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the league leaders. Stevenage back-line should have Alfie May at bay as the 30-year-old forward scored a brace in a 2-1 victory over Fleetwood Town.
Highlighted Player (Jake Taylor):
Jake Taylor is a product of the Reading football academy who plays for Exeter City in the League Two. Taylor spent his youth career at Reading, and he continued wearing the blue and white shirt at senior level.
After scoring two goals in 31 appearances with the Royals in the league, the English footballer spent several seasons on loan at the likes of Aldershot Town, Exeter City, Cheltenham Town, Crawley Town, Leyton Orient, and Motherwell. In 2016 Jake Taylor returned to Exeter City, signing a permanent deal with the St James Park outfit.
Despite being born in Ascot, England, on December 1, 1991, Taylor represents Wales on the international stage. He has ten caps with the Wales U21 team, and he made his debut with the Dragons at the senior level in a 2-1 win over Cyprus on October 13, 2014. His primary position is central midfielder.
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.
