Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the FA Cup match.
Cray Valley Paper Mills
A historical moment for Cray valley Paper Mills thanks to a pretty accidental draw in the game versus Charloton Athletic with an experimental squad (1:1). A ridiculous own goal by Lucas Ness helped a semi-amateur side. This is just the second time that Cray Valley Paper Mills managed to reach the first round proper of the FA Cup, It’s a record for them.
Charlton Athletic
This is the only League One team that has reached 23 goals scored and conceded. There have been scored a bit over 3 goals on average in their games - this is the first place in their division. Charlton have scored at least 3 goals on 4 occasions in their last 9 League One games. There is something that raises suspicion though. Their key defender Terell Thomas and first goalkeeper Ashley Mainard-Brewer miss this game as they have joined their national teams.
Cray Valley Paper Mills - Charlton Athletic prediction
The home side represents 8th division, while Charlton Athletic play in the third tier. It’s easy to see who’s the favourite. Charlton will do their best to beat their opponent after they never managed to do that in the first game. Local fans’ support is hardly to help the home side to avoid a heavy defeat as Charlton are 4th in their league in goals scored (1,7).
Charlton should score at least three times.
