IN THE SPOTLIGHT: CHARLTON ATHLETIC V ADELAIDE UNITED MATCH PREVIEW This is a match in the Scorum SM Division between the 2nd place Charlton Athletic who are considered the big favorite for this match against a 15th place team Adelaide united who seems to be struggling since the start of the season, with consecutive league game loss without a win. CHARLTON ATHLETIC Charlton Athletic seem to have adjusted well to their draw with a 3-2 home win against @Kolumbus side Sydney FC. The Addicks are currently unbeaten in the league with three wins and a draw in their last four matches played. Charlton will look to continue their impressive run of form by winning tonight against a struggling side and a mediocre team like Adelaide United who have failed to win a single game in their last four matches. The host will surely be motivated for this match so that they can mount a serious pressure on the league leader AFC Tubize who are also playing away from home tonight against @Mr Sarriball side, AS Nancy. Charlton Athletic sit at 2nd position in the table log with 10 points and just 2 point separating them from the league leader Tubize who has 12 points. PROBABLE LINE-UPJ STEER (GK) J DJOUROU (D,RB) B TREMOULINAS (LB) P BAUER (CB) N SARR (CB) J FORSTER-CASKEY (DM) S BERAHINO (AM,RL) R LAWAL (M) © C WILSON (F,C) S DRIUSSI (AM,F,RLC) M MARSHALL (FWD) KEY PLAYER R LAWAL The Nigerian born and the skipper continues to impress for his team with his eyes for goals and his impressive performance throughout their last four matches. Rabiu Lawal has now scored 5 goals in league, making him the Top scorer in the league and also becoming Charlton Athletic top/Highest goal scorer. ADELAIDE UNITED Adelaide United seems to be lacking a lot since the start of the new season with a very poor run of form leaving them at 13th position without a single win from their last four matches. They have managed to draw two games in four games and then consecutively losing the remaining two games in that process. The Reds major problem is at the back, conceding 8 goals and scoring just two goals in their last four outings. They were humiliated at home, 1-3 in their previous match against AS Nancy. The Manager @Austin0 had looked to the transfer market to solve the teams problem and he has again assured the fans that everything will surely turn out great before the season ends and all they need do is just to trust him. He said ''I believe the fans have to support and get behind us, in both our Home and Away league games, and hopefully for tonight game we might come out with a better result and hopefully after that we can push on from there. Though we don't have the biggest of squads so I will be looking to add a few more cheap players with the small budget we have." PROBABLE LINE-UP P IZZO (GK) M MARRONE (D,DM,R) J JAKOBSEN (D,LC) T REGAN (D,DMC) J ELSEY (D,C) V LIA (D,RB,DMC) M BOLAND (MC,AM) S ISAIAS (DM,M,C) © T HAZARD (AM,F,RLC) I MUNIAIN (AM,F,RLC) S MINA (F,RLC) KEY PLAYER I MUNIAIN It took 13minute for iker Munian to make his mark by scoring his debut for his new club since he signed for them a week ago from Athletic Bilbao. Unfortunately the prolific striker had nothing to do after all as he saw his team drained 1-3 by @Kalu Chma side AS Nancy. It was a good game for the striker but an awful performance from the team generally makes his effort a waste. Iker Munian will surely be a threat for the host Charlton as he had shown a sign of settling well under the manager style of play. OTHER MATCHES SCHEDULED FOR TODAY
