Prediction: 1-1
Blackburn Rovers
All eyes will be on The Valley when Charlton Athletic and Blackburn Rovers lock horns in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The Red Robins aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sheffield United and, no doubt, the Bramall Lane triumph gave them a confidence boost. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Tanto Olaofe should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute against the Blades.
The Riversiders, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Norwich City, with the team beating Watford 1-0 at Vicarage Road. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we predict that they are going to play out a draw in London. Both Adam Forshaw and Jake Garrett are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
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.
