Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Charlton Athletic will look to build on back-to-back wins over Bolton and Shrewsbury when they take on Bristol Rovers in the League One round 29. The Red Robins are seen as hot favourites to win Tuesday’s clash, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Right-back Kayne Ramsay is pushing for a start, while Gassan Ahadme is unlikely to recover in time to face the Pirates.
Bristol Rovers, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing fine performances at home, while struggling on the travels. With the Pirates suffering five defeats in the previous six away games, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing hosts. Both Kamil Conteh and Promise Omochere continue to miss out with injuries for the visiting team, while Jack Hunt is a major doubt following his omission in a 2-0 loss at Wigan.
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.
