Saturday, January 5, starting at 15:00, Charlton will meet Sunderland in the 27th round of League One.
After finishing 2018 with two defeats with a score of 2-1, the host team started in 2019 with a win with the same score on their own at Walsall. The goals were scored by K. Ahearne-Grant and L. Taylor, the footballers who scored 23 goals in the total of 42 of the team. With these three points, Charlton climbed again to a playoff spot on the 5th with a total of 46 points, two lengths over Peterborough on the 7th.
After the unexpected relegation of the Championship, guests are not planning to not promote at the end of this season. It is worth noting that Sunderland has not come out of the top 6 since the start of the championship. Now he is on 3 with a total of 50 points, 2 long distance from Luton and 7 from Portsmouth leader, but we have to point out that Jack Ross team has 2 less played matches than the first two ranked.
Of note is the form of 20-year-old striker Josh Maja, who is the 2 nd champion of 14 championships, with one less than the Marquis de la Doncaster.
The guests do not want to miss the promotion, and a victory in this stage can climb to the 2nd place, a position that ensures a place in the next season of Championship. On the other hand, the hosts have a playoff spot and Lee Bowyern’s band relies heavily on home games, Charlton being the second-best home team this League One season. Very likely, we will have a balanced match and we will see a very motivated host team not to lose.
PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.81
