1st prediction for Bristol City vs Charlton Athletic: Bristol City to win or draw – 11/50
This is a tough game to predict. Both sides have won their opening game against tough opponents, and will look to build on that this weekend to generate strong early season form. Bristol City come into this one full of confidence having thrashed promotion hopefuls Sheffield United, while Charlton returned to the Championship with a win over Watford. This game is a bit of an unknown though, with the Robins under a new manager and Charlton new to the division. However, with home advantage and a thrashing under their belts, the hosts are probably favourites. While the season has only just started, the signs point towards a result for Bristol City.
2nd prediction for Bristol City vs Charlton Athletic: Over 2.5 goals in the game – 21/20
This should be an interesting game from a goals perspective. Charlton kept a clean sheet on the opening day and only scored one, but there is certainly more to come from them, especially with the appointment of Danny Hylton to the backroom staff. They will have a tough test to keep that going here though, facing a Robins side who reached the play-offs last season and started the season in the best way possible. They scored four last time out and will hope to do the same with home advantage here. This will be a fantastic encounter between two strong teams, with goals aplenty expected.
3rd prediction for Bristol City vs Charlton Athletic: Both teams to score – 9/10
This is a game where goals will certainly have an impact, and there may be quite a few for both sides. Bristol City got their season off to the perfect start with a thrashing over their play-off nemesis Sheffield United on the opening day, scoring four against a team that put six past them over two legs. They have home advantage in this one and will play Gerhard Struber’s usual high-octane football, so they will have ample opportunity to score here. The same can be said about Charlton, who beat Watford with a stoppage time winner. There was only one goal in that game, but Nathan Jones’ sides also play intense football. They will be the underdogs here, but they will always back themselves.
