• Competition: League One
• Date: Tuesday, 23rd January 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: The Valley (London)

Many had anticipated Charlton to be one of the top teams in League One, but they are actually perilously close to the relegation zone. Currently, Charlton is just seven points clear of the drop zone. Michael Appleton’s team is performing terribly, with no victories in their last 11 matches. They lost 2-0 in their most recent match against Burton on the road. Despite the guests having 72% ball possession and seven more shots on goal, Charlton still faced defeat.

Conversely, Northampton, having competed in League Two the previous season, was anticipated by most experts to have a difficult time staying afloat. Contrary to these predictions, Northampton occupies a secure mid-table position, with no present danger of sliding back to League Two. Jon Brady’s squad has been performing impressively of late, suffering just one loss in their last seven encounters. In their most recent match, they held Wigan to a 1-1 draw at their home ground.

Charlton vs Northampton pick: Northampton to win or draw

Charlton’s defense is struggling significantly, having let in 11 goals in their previous five games. Conversely, Northampton’s defense has been slightly better, only allowing eight goals in their past seven matches. For this match, the safest bet would be on Jon Brady’s team, Northampton, to steer clear of defeat.
