Charlton - Norwich England - Championship Prediction

Charlton - Norwich
03.05 14:15
There are certain benefits to be gained from finishing bottom of the league and it's something that Charlton can demonstrate by beating Norwich in their final game of the season at the Valley on Sunday.
Fans of the beleaguered Addicks might not have enjoyed the sight of their team propping up the rest of the Championship since Boxing Day but their lost cause has at least allowed manager Phil Parkinson to build for a brighter future unopposed by any immediate ambitions.
So the rebuilding process at Floyd Road is already under way and recent results suggest that Charlton will enjoy a head-start on their rivals from Norfolk when the two teams face up to the depressing reality of life in League One next season.
The Londoners have tasted defeat only once in their last seven matches, despite facing teams with promotion or survival aspirations in all but one of those encounters, evidence that points towards a team determined to finish the campaign on a positive note.
Indeed, it's clear from recent interviews with the players that they feel a collective sense of debt towards their supporters, so the last thing they will want to subject them to right now is the sight of another team celebrating survival on their turf.
Norwich will no doubt start the day in determined mood as they seek to pull off the unthinkable and escape relegation with the help of matters elsewhere but it shouldn't take much more than a goal against or a few radio reports to take the wind out of the their sails.
A sequence of four defeats in the last five matches would suggest the Canaries were never really up for the fight in the first place, so there's no real justification for the odds-on quotes across the board on the away win.
Tip: Home/Draw, Odds 3.6/3.4; Over 2.5 Goals, Odds 1.8;
