Prediction: 3-1
Burton
Charlton Athletic will be aiming to keep their playoffs hopes alive when they take on Burton Albion in the League One round 23. The Red Robins are eyeing their seventh home win of the process and they are seen as hot favourites to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash. All Harry Isted, Lloyd Jones, Lucas Ness, Conor McGrandles, Terry Taylor, Panutche Camara, Miles Leaburn, and Chuks Aneke have been struggling with injuries of late.
The Brewers, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their five-game losing run in the English third tier, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the capital club. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to London. In their last meeting at the Valley Charlton Athletic defeated Burton Albion 3-2 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Sam Winnall):
Sam Winnall began his professional career at the age of 19. The striker, who was born on 19 January, 1991, made his Wolverhampton debut in May 2009 and he has been playing for a number of English clubs ever since.
He was on loan at Burton Albion, Hereford United, Inverness CT and Shrewsbury Town and in the 2013/2014 campaign he signed a contract with Scunthorpe United. Sam Winnall scored 23 goals in 45 appearances for the club and, as a result, secured a lucrative move to Barnsley in 2014. He went on to score his first goal for Barnsley on 23 August 2014 in a 4-1 win over Gillingham.
Winnall helped Barnsley eliminate Walsall in the 2015/2016 League One semis as he scored a brace in the first leg. It has to be noted that he scored 23 goals in the English second tier in the 2015/2016 season. He provided 8 assists for his teammates during the season and he finished the campaign as the third highest goalscorer in the league, just behind Nicky Ajose and Will Grigg.
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.
