Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Charlton Athletic will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Birmingham City when they take on Stockport County on Matchday 12. The Red Robins did well to put an end to their three-game losing run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. The capital club aim to keep on climbing the standings, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side.
Sierra Leone international Daniel Kanu remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. Dave Challinor’s troops, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, but beating Charlton in London is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils at the Valley. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of Saturday’s clash.
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.
