Charlton Athletic vs Portsmouth Match Analysis and Prediction

3 years ago 922

Charlton Athletic will be looking to record back-to-back victories when they welcome Portsmouth to the Valley in League one on Monday.

While the hosts are cuurently in 14th place in the table, their visitors are in fourth position after losing just one of their 11 league matches this season.

Charlton will head into the contest in a positive mood after ending an eight-game winless league run last weekend through a 4-2 victory over Exeter City.

A Miles Laeburn strike and an own goal from Alex Hartridge gave Charlton a two-goal lead before Jay Stansfield halved the deficit for Exeter in the 34th minute.

However, late goals from Chuks Aneke and Jack Payne helped the Addicks wrap up the three points despite Sam Nombe scoring from the spot o ensure the game ended 4-2.

Charlton’s first victory since August leaves them in midtable, with four points separating them from the drop zone, while they are five points adrift of the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Portsmouth may have lost just one league match this season, but they are currently winless in their previous three games in League One.

After playing out a 2-2 draw with Plymouth Argyle, Danny Cowley’s side were beaten for the first time this season when they met Ipswich Town.

Portsmouth had the chance to bounce back from the 3-2 defeat last weekend when they hosted Fleetwood Town, but Josh Koroma’s early opener was cancelled out by Carlos Mendes Gomes, ensuring Pompey had to settle for a point.

Although they have failed to win their last three matches, Portsmouth remain in the playoff spots and are eight points adrift of automatic promotion with three games in hand.

As they turn their attention to this game, Gomes’ side can take confidence from the fact that they have won three of their last four away league matches.

Charlton Athletic news

Miles Leaburn is a doubt for Charlton Athletic after the forward was forced off in the second half in the victory over Exeter City.

Should the 18-year-old fail to feature on Monday, then Chuks Aneke could come into the side to partner Jayden Stockley in the forward line, while Jack Payne could feature among the substitutes.

Portsmouth news

Portsmouth have drawn two of their last three League One matches, and will be very desperate to pick up a victory on Monday and quckly bounce back to winning ways.

Charlton Athletic are unbeaten at home this season and will be keen to avoid defeat here. So, we predict a draw.
