Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Crawley Town and Charlton Athletic square off against each other at the Broadfield Stadium in an eagerly-awaited League One game. The Red Devils looked sharp up front in a thrilling 4-4 draw with Exeter and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Will Swan, who has been in a fine form of late.
The capital club, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the English third tear. As Charlton have been showing signs of improvement of late, especially in front of goal, a high-scoring affair is on the cards at Broadfield Stadium. In their last meeting in League One, Crawley Town defeated Charlton Athletic 2-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. The good news for the visitors is that forward Miles Leaburn has overcome his minor injury.
