Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Cheltenham, Charlton will be aiming to start a new winning run when they host Fleetwood to the Valley on Saturday. The Red Robins suffered yet another dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the previous four league fixtures. The capital club aim to put an end to the negative trend, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
Both Ronnie Schwartz and Jake Forster-Caskey are sidelined with injuries, while returnee Chuks Aneke should keep his place in the starting XI. The Cod Army, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Doncaster and Rotherham. Fleetwood aim to build on back-to-back wins over Doncaster and Rotherham, but beating Charlton on the road is easier said than done. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in London, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Brad Halliday should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jake Forster-Caskey ):
Born in Southend-on-Sea, England on April 25, 1994 Jake Forster-Caskey is a midfielder who plays for Charlton Athletic in the League One. Forster-Caskey started his both youth and senior careers at Brighton & Hove Albion and it has to be noted that he scored five goals in 67 league appearances for the Seagulls first team.
After spending a couple of seasons on loan at the likes of Oxford United, Milton Keynes Dons and Rotherham United, the English footballer signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Charlton Athletic in the winter of 2017. Jake quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the capital club, scoring 5 goals in 43 appearances in the 2017/2018 League One campaign.
However, he was out of contention for most of the 2018/2019 season with a serious knee injury. His main position is central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as both defensive and left midfielder as well.
