Prediction: 1-1
Blackpool
Charlton and Blackpool take on each other at the Valley in what is expected to be a close League One encounter. The Red Robins aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Shrewsbury Town and a win over Wrexham could see them climb to top position in the standings. Charlton boss Nathan Jones has no fresh injury worries and the 51-year-old is likely to stick to the 3-5-2 formation.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Exeter, but beating Charlton in London is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, a close encounter is on the cards at the Valley. In their last meeting in the League One the two sides played out a 1-1 draw, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. Defender Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel returns to Blackpool’s starting XI after he was rested in the EFL Cup loss to Sheffield Wednesday.
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.
