Charlton Athletic - Portsmouth predictions and free betting tips [24/02/2024]

On 24th February, in League 1, England's third-tier division, Portsmouth will play against Charlton at the "Valley" stadium. Let's take a look at the state of the teams and try to make a decision to help augment our bankroll.

Charlton

The renowned team, which began the 21st century in the Premier League, only to be relegated to the Championship and further to League 1. Since then, Charlton fluctuates between League 1 and Championship, making their way to the second division twice in 10 years. Last season, the team settled for 10th place in the league table. Currently, they are in the 20th position.

In the 29th round, they drew with Blackpool (1:1). Then they lost to Derby County with a minimal score. In the next match, the team lost to Reading (0:2). This was followed by a draw with Lincoln (1:1). In the last round, the team played a productive draw with Bolton (3:3).

Portsmouth

The well-known team, which, until just 15 years ago, was regularly playing in the Premier League, but then slid to the Championship and gradually into League 1 and League 2. And for 11 years now, Portsmouth has managed to hold on in these two divisions, but perhaps this season will usher in a moment to at least return to the Championship.

At the moment, the team continues to hold onto the first spot in the league table, leading the nearest competitor by 6 points. In the 30th round, they drew with Oxford (2:2). Then the lads handily beat Northampton (4:1). In the next match, they won with a minimal score against Carlisle. Afterward, Portsmouth celebrated victory over Cambridge (3:1). In the last round, the team had a big win over Reading (4:1).

Head-to-Head

The last head-to-head duel between Portsmouth and Charlton was on 11th November 2023. That meeting ended in a draw with a score of 2:2.

Prediction

Portsmouth, having obtained 4 consecutive victories in recent matches, is demonstrating why they are the championship leaders. Meanwhile, Charlton looks very weak. They haven't had any victories for a long time, so they seem satisfied with draws. Based on this, I would propose to bet on the guests' victory.

Prediction for Total Over/Under

I believe the teams won't show a productive game here, so I suggest placing a bet on under 2.5 goals total.
