Prediction: 1-1
Leyton Orient
A highly-anticipated League One round 1 encounter awaits as Charlton Athletic and Leyton Orient clash in what promises to be a closely contested match at The Valley. Both teams have made key summer signings, adding depth and talent to their squads. For Charlton, new additions Lloyd Jones and Tayo Edun will be players to keep an eye on, as they aim to make an immediate impact in the team's fortunes.
Meanwhile, Leyton Orient will rely on the skills of their new recruits, Ethan Galbraith, Joe Pigott, and Max Sanders, to lead them to success. With both sides eager to kickstart their campaign with a win, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. When the two teams met in a preseason friendly last month they played out a 1-1 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Adam Thompson):
Born in Harlow, England on September 28, 1992, Adam Thompson is a defender who plays for Bury in League One. Thompson started his youth career at Watford and after making 14 appearances for the Hornets at senior level, he moved to Southend United, signing a permanent deal with the club in January, 2014.
It has to be noted that he played for the likes of Brentford, Wycombe Wanderers and Barnet on loan as well before joining the Shakers. Adam Thompson has a short loan spell at Bradford City in the 2017/2018 season, but he made no more than nine appearances for the Bantams. Despite being born in England, Adam Thompson decided to represent Northern Ireland in international matches.
He made his debut with the Northern Ireland national team on February 9, 2011, coming from the bench in a 3-0 loss to Scotland. His main position is centre-back, but he is capable of producing fine showings at right-back as well.
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.
