Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Burton Albion will look to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 defeat to Stockport County when they take on Charlton Athletic on Tuesday. The Brewers remain rooted to the bottom of the League One table, having managed just one league victory this season. Despite their struggles, Tom Hounsell's men have shown signs of improvement up front, netting 15 goals this term, though their leaky defence has conceded 28 times, one of the worst records in the League One.
Charlton, sitting mid-table, will aim to recover from a shocking 2-0 loss to Huddersfield. The Addicks are dealing with multiple absentees, including defenders Lloyd Jones, Kayne Ramsay, and Tennai Watson, while experienced midfielder Docherty is banned following his red card. Both sides are desperate for points, which could lead to a high-scoring affair. With Burton’s shaky defence and Charlton’s ability to exploit spaces, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals.
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.
