Charlton vs Wycombe Prediction: Addicks to get the job done at The Valley

Charlton should be feeling confident heading into their League 1 play-off semi-final second leg against Wycombe Wanderers at The Valley on Thursday (20:00, Sky Sports Main Event) after leaving Buckinghamshire with a goalless draw on Sunday.

The Addicks had the better of the chances at Adams Park and they have enjoyed great success on home turf in recent months. Read on for my Charlton vs Wycombe predictions, where you will also find the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Charlton are without forward Miles Leaburn due to injury.

Matt Godden, scorer of 18 goals in the league campaign, including one against Wycombe in the 4-0 thrashing at Adams Park last month, will continue to spearhead the attack.

The striker was denied a goal in the first leg by shot-stopper Will Norris, but he will be looked to for inspiration in this crunch decider at The Valley.

Chuks Aneke is available for selection following the three-game ban he picked up against the Chairboys last month.

Tyreece Campbell was able to start the first leg and was a nuisance down the left flank, while Thierry Small mad an appearance from the bench.

Wycombe are missing key players Dan Harvie and Josh Scowen due to injury.

Mike Dodds' side showed lessons had been learned from last month's heavy defeat against Charlton by keeping a clean sheet on Sunday, but they looked toothless in attack and given themselves a huge task in SE7.

Fred Onyedinma was lively down the right hand side and Dodds may look to get more positive actions from the winger at The Valley. Daniel Udoh was a physical presence on the left but more will be needed of him on the ball to help supply service to top scorer Richard Kone.

Charlton vs Wycombe Odds

Charlton have won 10 of their past 11 home matches and they are 5/4 (which has an implied probability of 44.4%) to prevail in 90 minutes.

The first leg ended in a draw and another stalemate can be backed at 11/5.

Wycombe are 12/5 to win in regulation time and the Chairboys have won three of their previous seven fixtures in all competitions.

At least one team has failed to score in nine of the visitors' past 10 outings in all competitions and BTTS - No is marketed at 4/5.

Charlton striker Godden has eight goals in 11 games coming into Thursday's clash and he is the 15/8 favourite to score anytime.

Charlton to win @ 5/4

The Valley has been a happy hunting ground for Charlton in recent months, with the Addicks winning 10 of their last 11 fixtures here. The 0-0 draw at Wycombe on Sunday has set them up nicely to keep up their strong home form to end the season.

The hosts had the better of the chances on Sunday and were the only team who looked like scoring. Nathan Jones knows that his side will need to be clinical in this game for them to book their place at Wembley and this feels set up for the attackers to show their worth.

Godden was denied a goal by Norris last time out but he will fancy his chances of scoring on Thursday as 67% (12/18) of his League 1 goals have come at The Valley this term, including six in his past four outings here.

I think he can help inspire the Addicks to victory here inside 90 minutes, especially with a packed-out crowd behind them.

Over 2.5 goals @ 5/4

Goals may have been hard to come by in recent weeks for Wycombe as eight of their last 10 matches have featured fewer than three goals, but that has not been the case for Charlton.

The home side have seen four of their previous five games produce over 2.5 goals, including the 4-0 hammering of Wycombe on April 21. Additionally, each of the Addicks' past five contests at The Valley have featured three or more goals, while their meeting with the Chairboys here back in December was won by a 2-1 scoreline.

With no goals in the first leg, I'm expecting both sides to come out all guns blazing as neither can afford to sit back with a place in the final on the line.
