First Prediction For Charlton Athletic vs Barnsley – Davis Keillor-Dunn To Score – 3/1
The former Mansfield Town man has firmly hit his stride for the South Yorkshire club this season and comes into this game with four goals in his last five matches and could make it his third game in a row with a goal should he find the net against The Addicks. He found the net in the reverse fixture back in November and whilst they have been strong as of late, games against Leyton Orient and Birmingham City point to Charlton’s defence being unable to shut out the higher-calibre teams in League One. Keillor-Dunn was given a slight reprieve at the end of the game against Lincoln City so he will likely be involved for much of this match too.
Second Prediction For Charlton Athletic vs Barnsley – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 87/100
Defensive frailties have blighted Barnsley in their recent games, shedding eight in their last five games. They have also scored a fair bit, including 4 in their most recent match against Lincoln City. Whilst Charlton’s defence won’t struggle as much as The Imps, they are prone to conceding the occasional goal. The Addicks have scored nine in their last five matches and have averaged a total of 1.36 goals per game. There should be a few goals in this game and like Barnsley’s last game, it could be a very high-scoring encounter.
Third Prediction For Charlton Athletic vs Barnsley – Charlton Athletic To Win – 10/11
Barring their defeat to Birmingham City, Charlton Athletic have dominated in their matches extending all the way back to late January. They have won seven of their last nine games and haven’t lost at The Valley since playing Leyton Orient in the reverse fixture back in November. They do face one of the league’s strongest away sides in Barnsley, who have won more games on the road than any other side in the third tier. The Tykes have won their last three games but this one may see them fall short to Nathan Jones’ side.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Charlton Athletic have been one of League One’s in-form sides as of late, with seven wins in their last nine matches which has seen them rocket into the third tier’s playoff positions. Their most recent game can be seen as their best result yet, with two added-time goals claiming all three points against London rivals Leyton Orient to leapfrog Richie Wellens’ side into sixth place at the end of play on the weekend. In their last five games, they have also beaten Exeter City handily, along with victories over Peterborough United and Stevenage, with their only blip coming against runaway leaders Birmingham City.
Barnsley are on a three-game winning run as they head down to Charlton, with wins against South Yorkshire rivals Rotherham United and Northampton Town before their most recent match against Lincoln City. The Tykes had a 4-1 lead coming into the closing stages but manage to see off The Imps’ comeback and seal a 4-3 win at Oakwell. Barnsley are one of the best sides in League One on away form, with their 10 wins in 17 matches being the most of any side, but are third in overall points behind Birmingham City and Wycombe Wanderers. They sit in 10th place ahead of these midweek fixtures, and could come within one point of their hosts should they emerge victorious at The Valley.
The reverse fixture this season played out as a 2-2 draw in Barnsley, with two added-time goals from each side keeping the honours even. Barnsley will look to end a four-game winless run against Athletic after two draws and losses. Overall, Charlton have the slight edge with five wins to Barnsley’s four and have also played out four draws,
