Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Charlton play host to Birmingham City at the Valley in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. The Red Robins are desperate to put an end to their three-game losing streak, but they will have a big fish to fry against the promotion hopefuls. Gassah Ahadme is a major doubt, with Chuks Aneke being ready to step up and face his former club.
The Blues, on the other hand, are determined to return to the Championship and they must be brimming with confidence following seven consecutive league wins. Given Charlton Athletic’s poor form in the League One, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the league leaders. South Korea midfielder Seung Ho-Paik should miss out with injury after suffering with cramp at the end of the midweek win. Marc Leonard is likely to sneak into the starting XI.
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.
