Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following three consecutive draws, Charlton Athletic will be aiming to return to winning ways in the League One when they take on Barnsley on Matchday 43. The Red Robins are safe for now and, no doubt, they would be a happy with one point from Saturday’s clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Barnsley. The Tykes, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Cambridge United, with the team beating Burton Albion on the road. Barnsley are eager to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive and seeing that Charlton have little to play for in the season finale, away win should be considered. As for the visiting side, on-loan forward John McAtee is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a brace against the Brewers on Monday.
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.
