Our prediction for this League 1 match:
There will be fireworks when Charlton Athletic and Rotherham United square off against each other in a highly-anticipated League One game. The Red Robins aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Reading and you should know that they are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Jamaica midfielder Karoy Anderson should sneak into the starting XI.
The Millers, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels. As Rotherham are on a four-game winless run at the Valley, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. A man to watch in the away team will be summer signing Jonson Clarke-Harris, who opened his goal-scoring account in a 2-1 win over Huddersfield at the weekend. Defenders Sean Raggett and Joe Rafferty have been struggling with injuries of late.
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.
