Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

It’s an exciting clash League One, with Birmingham’s super squad dominant so far, leaving them sat at top spot.

Despite Charlton’s decent start, three losses in the bounce leave them wallowing in midtable so far.

Charlton Athletic Preview

Charlton Athletic Predicted Line-up - William Mannion; Macaulay Gillesphey, Lloyd Jones, Alex Mitchell; Josh Edwards, Luke Berry, Conor Coventry, Karoy Anderson, Tennai Watson; Tyreece Campbell, Chuks Aneke

Whilst Charlton had a mostly positive start to the current League One campaign; losses to Bristol Rovers, Stevenage, and Blackpool mean they’ve slid back down the table so far.

Whilst Nathan Jones is an established manager and I’d imagine there’s still no pressure on his job, he’ll want to turn things back around in his favour with an upset here.

Conor Coventry will be key in midfield, whilst Campbell and Aneke will be looking to add to their low goal-tallies this season.

Birmingham City Preview

Birmingham City Predicted Line-up - Ryan Allsop; Alex Cochrane, Krystian Bielik, Christoph Klarer, Taylor Gardner-Hickman; Seung-Ho Paik, Tomoki Iwata; Keshi Anderson, Alfie May, Willum Thor Willumson; Jay Stansfield

Despite a slow start by their expectations, a recent run of good form has turned Blues’ fortunes around this season.

Whilst it looked like Wrexham were going to pull ahead at the top of the table, a double from Jay Stansfield earned them a win against the Welsh side and they’ve been unstoppable ever since.

The £20 million-man in attack will continue to be key this season, proving his price tag game after game.

Betting Tips For Charlton Athletic vs Birmingham City

Despite Charlton probably having the better ‘H2H’ form, we think Birmingham City’s quality will prove far too much for the Addicks.

They spent a lot of money in the summer, dwarfing the League One transfer record with the acquisition of League One’s Jay Stansfield, along with Alfie May who’s notorious at this level.

So much so that we’re confident Birmingham are going to breach 100 points this season.

However, they have shown they’re prone to conceding, with Ryan Allsop still not confident in the Blues’ net.

We think overall the best value tip is Birmingham City to win & both teams to score, backed up by our research.

Odds of 5/2 on PariMatch mean that a £10 bet has the potential to return up to £35 in this match.
