Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Charlton will look to keep their 100% record in the new League One campaign intact when they take on Bolton in the League One round 3. The Red Robins made a flying start to the season, but they face a tough challenge against the promotion hopefuls. Joshua Edwards is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a hard-fought win over Leyton Orient, with Thierry Small being ready to step up.
The Trotters, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with Wrexham. Bolton aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible, but seeing that Charlton are tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. In their last meeting in the English third tier the two sides played out a 3-3 draw. As for the visiting team, Kyle Dempsey has overcome his injury, while both Klaidi Lolos and Will Forrester remain in the recovery room.
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.
