Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Charlton Athletic U21 & AFC Bournemouth U21 face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Premier League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Charlton Athletic U21 form and stats

A good away victory last time out for Charlton Athletic U21, who won 2-0 against Sheffield Wednesday U21.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Birmingham City U21 that ended 2-2.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Charlton Athletic U21 has scored {4 goals-1} so far and conceded {4 goals-2} from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
AFC Bournemouth U21 form and stats
They also participated in Premier League Cup last season. This ended in the group stage.AFC Bournemouth U21 are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Professional Development League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).
AFC Bournemouth U21 lost away at Hull City U21 (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Hull City U21 was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Sheffield Wednesday U21 in the Professional Development League.Many goals are not expected from the visiting AFC Bournemouth U21 as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. The AFC Bournemouth U21 manager Cooper has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
