There is FA Cup First Round action from Roots Hall on Saturday as National League Southend United host Charlton Athletic of League One. Will our match prediction back the bookies favourite Addicks for the win or can the home team Shrimpers cause an early round FA Cup upset?
Unfortunately for head coach Kevin Maher, there’s little in Southend’s form this season to suggest they can better a League One opponent. They lie in 15th spot in the table in the National League and would have been much lower but for a good run in their last three matches.
Those games saw them win 1-0 at Rochdale, then draw 0-0 at Aldershot before beating Tamworth 2-0 last weekend. They scored a last minute winner away to Eastleigh in the last round of the competition to go through to the First Round proper.
Charlton Athletic qualified automatically for the First Round as a League One team. Nathan Jones’ team don’t have a stellar away record, with two wins and a draw alongside three defeats in the league, but they have faced a much sterner level of competition than their rivals.
Unbeaten in four, Charlton have drawn all their last three games, 1-1 at home to Stockport and then two 2-2 draws, firstly away at Barnsley then last weekend at home to Wrexham.

Our Southend United vs Charlton Athletic Prediction
Our prediction for the Southend United vs. Charlton Athletic FA Cup First Round tie is: Charlton Athletic to win.
With 51 places in the pyramid separating these two teams, it will likely take more than home advantage to offer Southend hope of a win here. Charlton come into this game in decent, but not spectacular form, but those results have come against League One teams. Southend are National League and ranked 15th in that division. Based on the gulf in quality between the two teams and Charlton's good history in this fixture, an away win looks likely.
