Prediction: 2-0
Shrewsbury
Charlton Athletic play host to Shrewsbury Town at the Valley on the penultimate day of the season. The Red Robins are undefeated in the previous thirteen league matches, but they have little to play for in the season finale. Both Alfie May and Chuks Aneke are pushing for a start as Nathan Jones should make changes to the team shared the spoils with Cambridge United at the weekend.
The Shrews, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five league matches. Paul Hurst’s troops are eager to finish the season in style, but given Charlton’s fine form in the English third tier, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. As for the away team, Daniel Udoh should keep his place in the starting XI after putting an end to his goalless draught in a 2-2 draw with Bolton.
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.
