Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Shrewsbury will try to recover from a 3-0 loss to Wrexham when they take on Charlton in the League One round 6. The Shrews made a slow start to the season, but the fact that they outplayed Leyton 3-0 in their last home fixture must be fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s encounter. All O’Reilly, Sagore Jr, and Feeney are pushing for a start as Paul Hurst is widely expected to shuffle his pack following the under-par performance at Racecourse Ground.
The Red Robins, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Rotherham United. The capital club aim to stay in the playoffs berth and given Shrewsbury’s shaky defence, away win should be considered. Chuks Aneke could sneak into the starting eleven after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Rotherham, while there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
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.
