Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Exeter City host Charlton Athletic in what promises to be an exciting League One clash. Exeter have been in fine scoring form recently, netting goals with ease and showcasing an attacking style that keeps opponents on their toes. The hosts’ forward Josh Magennis will be one to watch, as he comes into this match fresh off a hat-trick last weekend, adding firepower to an already potent Exeter attack.
Charlton, meanwhile, looked sharp in their recent FA Cup win over Southend, showing a cutting edge in front of goal that will serve them well in this league fixture. With both teams in high spirits and eager to keep up their scoring momentum, this game has all the ingredients for an end-to-end affair. Given the firepower on display and Charlton’s lack of fresh injury concerns, we expect an open game with plenty of chances. Taking everything into account, we are about to see goals galore at St James Park.
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.
