Addicks have less than 1 in 2 chance of win over Foxes
The Addicks have a less than a 1 in 2 chance of a win over the Foxes in today's FA Cup clash at The Valley, the first time the two sides have met in the FA Cup. Boffins at Warwick University's Institute of Applied Cognitive Science have put the chances of a Charlton win at 42%; a draw at 26%; and an away win at 32%.
Leicester are something of away draw specialists and their last three matches with Charlton have ended in score draws. A replay at the Crisp Bowl would, however, not necessarily end Charlton's cup homes. Today is Leicester's cup final and superiority would probably tell over 180 minutes or at least in the penalty shoot out.
It does, however, illustrate the dangers of relying on cups as a way of getting some silverware. They are a lottery and Charlton's best chance of getting into Europe is still probably a good end to the season in the league.
Elsewhere, John Robinson is joining Conference outfit Crawley Town. He would be supplying crosses to ex-Addick Charlie MacDonald, but he is understood to be injured.
