Burton Albion - Charlton Athletic predictions

Though Burton Albion definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Charlton Athletic are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

Charlton Athletic will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. Burton Albion are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

The hosts can count themselves fortunate to have avoided a bigger defeat in their last League One outing. They were seen as the 14.00 underdogs to claim what would have been a rather shocking away win and a narrow Derby County beating they took will not leave too deep a dent in their confidence.

The previous round ended with a 1:2 home loss for Charlton Athletic. They were matched with Peterborough United, though, who were definitely the favourites.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Charlton Athletic lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

These two teams met earlier this season and the final result was a draw. Charlton Athletic are playing as the away team this time, which puts some doubt as to whether they’ll be able to pull ahead this time. According to the betting odds, though, they’re still the favourites.

With no injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their full rosters available for an exciting showdown.

Combining Home Win and Draw into a Double Chance wager is the safest course of action, though it’s still not without risks. It should offer decent value at odds of 1.60, though.
