Our prediction for this League 1 match:
After failing to win the previous three games in all competitions, Charlton Athletic will look to return to winning ways when they welcome Mansfield Town to their Valley on Matchday 20. The Red Robins suffered a dip in form, but Saturday’s clash could turn their fortunes around in the League One. After resting several first-team regulars in the EFL Trophy loss to Leyton Orient, manager Nathan Jones is going to field the best possible side against Mansfield.
The Yellows, on the other hand, have been totally out of form of late and given their five-game losing run in the League One, Charlton Athletic will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. You should know that Charlton crushed Mansfield 5-0 in their last meeting in London. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to English capital.
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.
