Our prediction for this League 1 match:
After suffering elimination in both FA Cup and EFL Trophy, Charlton Athletic will look to return to winning ways when they take on Cambridge United on Saturday afternoon. The Red Robins aim to move closer to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against the U’s. Miles Leaburn has yet to overcome his injury, with Slobodan Tedic likely to start.
Cambridge United, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the League One and given their difficulties at the back, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. In their last meeting in the English third tier Charlton defeated Cambridge 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. As for the away team, Fejiri Okenabirhie is a major doubt after suffering an injury in the FA Cup triumph over Fleetwood Town.
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.
