Prediction: 1-0
Leyton Orient
Charlton Athletic will be looking to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Wigan Athletic when they take on Leyton Orient in their first home game of the season. The Red Robins were beaten by Birmingham in their EFL Cup opener on Tuesday, meaning that they will be fully focused on the League One in upcoming days. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Leyton.
The Os, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to Bolton in the opening match of their League One campaign. As Leyton have suffered a defeat in each of the previous three meetings with Charlton in London, home win should be considered. Daniel Agyei is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting team after getting his name on the scoresheet in the EFL Cup triumph over Newport County.
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.
