Charlton Athletic v Rochdale | The Valley, Sky Bet League One, Saturday 4th May 2019, 5.30pm Kick-Off
Dale travel to Charlton Athletic for their final match of the 2018/19 season, with League One status for next season already secure.
A 1-0 win over Southend United last weekends, Dale’s third consecutive victory, propelled Dale into 14th in the table and clear of the relegation zone.
Charlton are currently fifth in the table and will extend their season in the playoffs for a second season running.
They can still finish in third or fourth spot, which would give them home advantage in the second leg of their semi-final.
