Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Charlton Athletic will look to record their first league win since November 28, 2023 when they take on Northampton Town on Tuesday evening. The Red Robins aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Peterborough and Burton and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Cobblers. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Northampton Town, on the other hand, aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive. As the visitors will go for a win in the midweek clash as well, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Jon Brady is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with Wigan Athletic. You should bear in mind that over 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five meetings between the two sides in the League One.
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.
