League One
Our Three Predictions for Peterborough United vs Charlton Athletic
- First Prediction: Charlton Athletic to win – 13/10
- Second Prediction: Both teams to score – 57/100
- Third Prediction: Matty Godden to score at any time – 9/4
First Prediction for Peterborough United vs Charlton Athletic – Charlton Athletic to win – 13/10
Even though Peterborough are unbeaten in their last six matches, so are their opponents Charlton, who are well and truly in the race for play-off football, and are currently only five points off the second automatic promotion spot. Darren Ferguson’s side’s last loss came at the hands of their Saturday opponents just over a month ago, losing 2-1 to the Addicks at the Valley in a re-arranged mid-week fixture. On top of this, the Addicks posses good away form, only losing seven out of their 18 away games this season. Although the hosts’ form has picked up in the last month, that can’t take away how poor they’ve been on a whole this season, with the side still only six points clear of the drop zone. Put simply, Nathan Jones’ side need to be winning games against sides such as Peterborough if they want to confirm their play-off spot and potentially push for that second automatic spot, which as previously mentioned, is only five points away.
Second Prediction for Peterborough United vs Charlton Athletic – Both teams to score – 57/100
Neither side rarely fails to score goals in matches. Posh are the top scorers out of the bottom 12 teams in the division, with 53 goals scored in 36 games. However, it’s their defensive record which also lets them down, as they have conceded 60 goals, seven more than they have scored. Whilst the away side have scored four fewer goals, they have also kept out a whopping 28 fewer at the other end. On average, the hosts score 1.47 but concede 1.67 goals per match. The Addicks score an average of 1.32 and concede 0.86 goals per 90. Both sides have only failed to score on seven occasions in the third tier this season, so therefore it’s unlikely that both sides will not find the back of the net in this encounter on Saturday.
Third Prediction for Peterborough United vs Charlton Athletic – Matty Godden to score at any time – 9/4
Experienced striker Matty Godden joined Charlton in the summer from Coventry City and has since scored 15 goals in 37 appearances in all competitions. He is their top-scorer in the league by six goals and bagged a brace against Wigan Athletic last weekend. The 33-year-old has scored six goals in his last 10 league games and will be looking to better that record against the Posh, who are a side, who as previously mentioned, tend to concede a fair few goals.
Best Odds for Peterborough United vs Charlton Athletic
| Bookmaker | Peterborough United | Draw | Charlton Athletic |
| Myriadplay | 17/10 | 9/4 | 13/10 |

Full Preview of the Game – Last Results and Head-To-Head
As mentioned above, both sides come into this game unbeaten in six, however, the away side have picked up more wins in that time, winning five of their last six. The Posh do come into this game on the back of a win in the Cambridgeshire Derby, while Charlton come into this game on back-to-back wins.
Three points would be crucial for both sides for different reasons, with Charlton at the top of the table and Peterborough nearer to the bottom. With only certain clubs playing due to the international break, the Addicks could move closer to an automatic play-off spot with all three points, whilst the hosts could distance themselves to the relegation zone even further by a potential nine points.
Since 2010, these sides have met each other 19 times in multiple competitions, including the Championship, League One and the Carabao Cup. The hosts take the majority of the results, winning eight, whilst Charlton have won five, with the other six matches ending level at full time.
