Saturday 20th October 2018 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – League One Betting Tips
Onto League One and Charlton Athletic entertain Barnsley with more betting tips for our readers at The Valley as the hosts look to halt their high-flying visitors.
Charlton Athletic will be keen to avoid a third consecutive defeat on the trot in League One when they host Barnsley following recent back-to-back defeats to Scunthorpe United 5-3 away and a 2-1 loss at home to Coventry City which has left The Addicks in 11th place.
It’s been a frustrating season so far for Charlton whose inconsistent streak has once again let them down this term, and although there’s still a long way to go, the hosts are already five points adrift of the play-off pack ahead of this weekend’s action.
Charlton’s home record stands at 3-1-2 8/7 which includes wins over Shrewsbury Town, Wycombe Wanderers and Plymouth Argyle but defeats to 2nd placed Peterborough United and 12th placed Coventry City suggest this could be a long afternoon for the home side.
Barnsley are on the up as they make their way down to the nation’s capital for this important clash with Charlton Athletic at The Valley as Daniel Stendel’s side are unbeaten in their last four matches in League One.
Three wins out fo the last four have helped lift The Tykes into early automatic promotion reckoning following victories over Fleetwood Town, Peterborough United and Luton Town along with a draw at home with Plymouth Argyle.
In addition, Barnsley have lost just once in their six away matches to date with a very reasonable looking away record of 4-1-1 15/4 under their belts so far this season. The loss came in a 1-0 defeat away at Coventry City, but with the likes of forwards Moore (7 goals) and Thiam (4 goals) in tandem up front, the visitors have to be considered a serious threat here.
My betting tips suggest backing Barnsley with the draw no bet option.
Pick: Barnsley AH0 @ 1.64 Bet Victor
