Charlton Athletic Preview – Addicks to return to winning ways?
Charlton Athletic started the season well, but the Addicks have picked up just one league win in six. The London side, who were relegated from the EFL Championship last term, began 2021 with a disappointing 2-0 defeat to fellow promotion hopefuls Hull City.
Lee Bowyer’s boys have been solid at The Valley this season, picking up four home league wins and suffering just two losses. Before drawing 2-2 with Plymouth Argyle on Boxing Day, Athletic thumped Wimbledon 5-2.
Like a lot of big clubs in League One, Charlton’s main aim will be promotion to the second tier this season. At present, Athletic sit in sixth spot, five points behind second-place Hull. After last weekend’s loss at the KCOM Stadium, can Charlton get back to winning ways on their own patch on Friday? The hosts are priced at 27/20.
Accrington Stanley Preview – Lancashire side to leave London with a point?
This is scheduled to be Accrington Stanley’s first game since a 0-0 draw with Blackpool on December 19th. John Coleman’s men have had plenty of time to recover and recharge the batteries ahead of a busy second half to their season.
Accrington head to The Valley in excellent form, losing only one of their past ten League One games, sealing six wins along the way. No team in England’s second tier have played fewer matches than Stanley, but the Lancashire club are just seven points adrift of the automatic places.

Charlton Athletic vs Accrington Stanley Betting Advice
In the 2018-19 League One season, Charlton did the double over Accrington on their way to promotion to the Championship. After a 1-1 draw at the Crown Ground, a last-gasp Karlan Grant goal was enough to give the Londoners a 1-0 win at The Valley in the last meeting back in January 2019.

After starting 2021 with a loss at Hull, Bowyer’s troops would love maximum points from this one. However, Accrington are a tough nut to crack this season, and we are backing Coleman’s team to leave London with a well-earned point. The 1-1 draw at 11/2 has caught the eye.
Dion Charles had a pretty impressive December, scoring three goals in his last four league appearances for Accrington. The 25-year-old striker is available at 7/1 to score the first goal of this game.
