Southend United Charlton Athletic betting prediction

The team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 12 conceded. In their last match, for the EFL Trophy, they got a home win against Chelsea U21 by (3‑0). In the last 10 away matches Charlton has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

League One side Charlton Athletic go into the match as favourites and with the responsibility of progressing. The team is riding high on good results and has an experienced squad, which gives them confidence to deal with the pressure of a knockout tie. Charlton will look to impose their possession-based style and exploit set pieces to control the game. The team sees the FA Cup as an important competition and, while they recognise Southend's challenging spirit, they will hope to secure qualification with a solid performance. The depth of the squad and technical quality make Charlton a tough opponent to overcome at this stage.

Confirmed Lineup: William Mannion, Joshua Edwards, Alex Mitchell, Zach Mitchell, Macauley Gillesphey, Conor Coventry, Luke Berry, Terry Taylor, Allan Campbell, Miles Leaburn, Matt Godden.
Coach: D. Holden.
