Saturday 9th September 2017 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – League One Betting Tips
Charlton Athletic will be seeking a fourth win on the trot in League One when they take on Southend United at The Valley as the hosts look to move top of the division with all three points today.
Charlton have made a great start to the new League One season having racked up four wins from their first five matches which has lifted them up into third spot and just one point behind early league leaders, Peterborough United ahead of this afternoons clash.
Wins over Bristol Rovers, Northampton Town, Rotherham United and Oldham Athletic will give the hosts a big boost and momentum in these early stages of this term, and they possess a couple of useful forwards in the shape of Magennis and Holmes (2 goals apiece).
Visitors Southend United come into this encounter on the back of four league matches without a win following a heavy 5-0 defeat at Rotherham United which has been preceded by three stalemates on the trot against Plymouth Argyle, Gillingham and Rochdale respectively.
The Shrimps still remain unbeaten at Roots Hall as they’ve beaten Blackburn Rovers and drawn with Plymouth and Rochdale, but their early results on the road have been disappointing; the aforementioned heavy defeat at Rotherham was followed by a point at third from bottom club Gillingham.
In addition, Southend went down 2-1 to Charlton Athletic in their last encounter against The Addicks back in April, and I can see a similar scoreline unfolding at The Valley again this afternoon.
