Charlton Athletic vs Hull City Prediction

Charlton Athletic are 8th in the League One table, one point behind 6th-placed Portsmouth. Attacker Chuks Aneke and Jayden Stockley have led the line well, but the absence of midfielder Jake Forster-Caskey due to injury could prove to be a problem.

Hull City, on the other hand, are the champions of League One, and will play in the EFL Championship next season. Forward Mallik Wilks has scored 19 league goals so far, while midfielder George Honeyman has proved to be an important member of the side as well.

Charlton Athletic will be keen to get into the playoff spots, and might just win here.

Prediction: Charlton Athletic 2-1 Hull City
