In an English League One match at The Valley, Charlton Athletic secured a 2-1 victory over Northampton Town. Luke Berry opened the scoring for Charlton in the 9th minute, but Dara Costelloe quickly equalized for Northampton with a penalty in the 15th minute. Matthew Godden scored the decisive goal for Charlton in the 71st minute. While possession was relatively even (50.9% for Charlton and 49.1% for Northampton), Charlton slightly edged Northampton in total shots (11 vs 10) and shots on target (4 vs 3). The game saw a high number of yellow cards, with Charlton receiving 5 and Northampton 3.
The AI's pre-game prediction of a Charlton Athletic win, with a 55.6% probability, proved accurate. This victory continues Charlton's good form, having won 4 of their last 5 matches, excluding the draw against Lincoln City. Northampton's form is more mixed, with a recent impressive 4-0 win against Peterborough followed by a draw against Reading.
Looking ahead, Charlton faces Wycombe Wanderers away, a team in decent form themselves, winning 4 of their last 5 games. Wycombe's home advantage and slightly higher team rate suggest a potentially tough match for Charlton. Northampton will host Shrewsbury Town, presenting an opportunity to capitalize on their recent win against Peterborough, even with the Shrewsbury Town being in very bad form, losing 4 of their last 5 games. Based on recent head-to-head games and the team’s recent form, Charlton seems to perform quite well against Northampton, having won the reverse fixture 5-0 and dominating several other matches. However, it is important to keep in mind that Northampton won the last match at home against Shrewsbury Town.
