The first leg of the semi-final ended in a 0-0 draw.

Wycombe will visit the Valley to lock horns with Charlton Athletic F.C. It will be the second leg of their EFL League One playoffs semi-final clash, and it will be a must-watch game. The first leg ended in a 0-0 draw, and both teams have all to play for in this encounter.

The home side finished the regular League One campaign in 4th place with 85 points from 46 games. They have three wins, one draw, and one loss in their previous five matches. The home side are also at an advantage to secure a win as they will be playing in front of their fans.

Players to watch out for:

Matt Godden (Charlton Athletic)

The English striker has been exceptional in leading the line for the home side throughout the season. He is their current top goalscorer as he has found the back of the net on 18 occasions in 41 appearances. As Charton are just one step away from making the final, Godden will be given the responsibility to get them over the line against Wycombe.

Richard Kone (Wycombe)

Just like Matt, Richard has also played a leading role in the attack for Wycombe this season. He is a physical specimen who is strong on the ball and also presses from the front off of it. He has registered 18 goals and three assists in 41 EFL League One appearances.

He will look to lead his team into the finals with some crucial goals.
