Having suffered the frustration of being frozen out at the weekend, Charlton Athletic will look to extend their lead at the top of League One when they face Milton Keynes Dons at the Valley on Tuesday night.
Although Charlton did not kick a ball at the weekend, they will have been delighted to see second-placed Sheffield Wednesday slip to a 2-1 defeat to Exeter City.
That result means that the Addicks currently enjoy a seven point-lead at the top of League One with two games in hand and they can be backed to extend that lead to ten points by securing victory over MK Dons at even money (2.00) with AllYouBet.com.
MK Dons have lost just two of their last 10 matches, though, and they will be no pushovers with All You Bet rating them as 5/2 (2.50) chances to grab an away win here. The draw is chalked up at 23/10 (3.30) with the same firm.
Charlton have won four out of their last five league matches but, surprisingly, goals have not flowed freely for the league leaders and, in fact, they have managed to score more than two goals just once in their last twelve league matches.
Instead, grinding out wins has been the key to Charlton’s success so far and they are 23/4 (6.75) with AllYouBet.com to record another 1-0 win on Tuesday while AllYouBet.com go 8/1 (9.00) for MK Dons to win by that scoreline.
The hosts are available at 11/5 (3.20) to lead at both half-time and full-time in this contest while MK Dons backers might be tempted by the offer of 27/4 (7.75) for the match to be level at half-time with the visitors winning at full-time.
The recent lack of action will have frustrated Charlton Athletic but they looked a class above Tuesday’s opponents prior to the enforced break and they can pick up where they left off with victory on Tuesday at evens with AllYouBet.com while value seekers should look at Charlton to dig out yet another narrow 1-0 win at 23/4 (6.75).
