Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cambridge United, Charlton Athletic will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Northampton on Fridday. The Red Robins are eager to move closer to the automatic promotion berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Cobblers. The likes of Kanu, Leaburn, and Maynard-Brewer are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
Northampton, on the other hand, aim to escape the danger zone. Charlton Athletic, though, want this win more than the visitors and that is the main reason why we are going to bet on the capital club. Adding to their woes, Nesta Guinness-Walker is banned for the visiting team, while duo Dyche – Hondermarck remains in the recovery room. In the first half of the season, Charlton Athletic rolled over Northampton Town 5-0.
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.
