Charlton Athletic Preview – Can the Addicks avoid a third straight defeat?
Charlton Athletic have improved drastically since Johnnie Jackson took over, with the Londoners now sitting in mid-table in League One. It has been a tough season on the whole for the Addicks, who have won just 11 of 31 league games.
After successive wins over Fleetwood Town, Portsmouth and Wimbledon, Charlton have lost their last two. After a 2-1 loss to Bolton Wanderers at the University of Bolton Stadium, the Addicks were then beaten by the same scoreline by Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium last weekend.
Charlton have an excellent record at The Valley in recent months, winning eight of the last ten in all competitions. Can they secure another home victory this weekend? The bookies are offering 31/20 for an Addicks victory.
Oxford United Preview – Yellows to get back to winning ways?
Oxford United are once again battling for promotion to the EFL Championship. Karl Robinson’s boys have won 15, drawn eight and lost nine of their 32 league fixtures. They currently occupy seventh spot with 53 points to their name.
Oxford recently won three and drew one of four in the league, but they head to The Valley having lost two on the spin. United were beaten 2-0 at Accrington Stanley before suffering a 3-2 home loss to Bolton Wanderers.
