Reading vs Charlton Athletic Prediction & Betting Tips - League One
by Matthew Newman in League One Predictions
Reading will take on Charlton in League One action on Saturday. Both teams will have aspirations of contending this season which should make this a competitive game to make our prediction on.
The Royals will be smarting after a 3-0 beating away at Wrexham last weekend. A draw at Birmingham on the opening day and a 2-0 win at home to Wigan got their season off to a strong start. They controlled the possession game in north Wales but struggled in the air.
Back home should be a help to them as they were rock solid there last season. 12 wins at the Madejski was bettered by only six teams in the division so they will be hoping to shake off their Wrexham defeat with a stronger display.
Charlton are a perfect 3/3 so far in the league, scoring four goals without conceding any. It has been an impressive start to their campaign, even more so as only Wigan and Shrewsbury have a worse xGF than Charlton's 1.07. They were gifted both goals by Bolton in their recent win, however.
A part of that lack of goals has been that their new signing from Coventry, Matt Gooden has been recovering from injury. He came off the bench to score a late goal against Bolton last weekend as he builds back towards full fitness.
If Gooden is fit enough to start, it would give Charlton a new dimension in attack that they have been lacking this season. Excellent in the air, that could spell danger to Reading given how they conceded two of the three goals against Wrexham. It is not enough to convince that Charlton are suddenly going to become an attacking juggernaut, however as they lack a touch of quality to get Gooden the ball in the right areas.
