Charlton Athletic vs Norwich City Prediction

Charlton Athletic are 13th in the Football League One, and have won two of their last five league games. Given Norwich City's form, Charlton Athletic could potentially get a positive result here.

Norwich City, on the other hand, already look destined for a return to EFL Championship next season. They are bottom of the Premier League, and while they are only three points behind 17th-placed Watford, their current form leaves a lot to be desired.
