Orient finished the season in superb form to snatch the final spot in the play-offs and they carried that momentum their semi-final tie against Stockport, winning 4-1 on penalties to give them a Wembley date to look forward to.

There was some controversy, though, with the first leg finishing 2-2 after Orient took the lead with a goal that replays showed was two yards offside.

Charlton, meanwhile, delivered in front of their home fans on Thursday night, as Matty Gooden’s goal proved enough for a 1-0 win on the night and on aggregate.

After five straight seasons in League One, Charlton are eyeing a first return to the Championship since 2020.

Orient were playing in the National League six years ago, but now find themselves within touching distance of the second tier of English football.

Orient were the underdogs coming into the play-offs, but it is now eight matches unbeaten and they will believe they can deliver at Wembley.

Charlton, though, were one of the division’s best sides in the second half of the season to surge up the table and held their nerve in an incredibly tight semi-final clash with Wycombe.

With so much on the line it could be a nervy affair, but we’re going with Charlton to edge it and book their place back in the Championship.

Charlton to win, 1-0.
