Charlton – West Brom

Charlton host West Brom in what promises to be a tightly contested clash, with both sides occupying the middle of the table. Charlton sit fifth with 12 points from three wins, three draws and a single loss, having scored six and conceded seven, while West Brom sit just above them in fourth place on 14 points, boasting four victories, two draws and one defeat and a modest +3 goal difference (10‑7). The two clubs have met several times this season, each taking a point from their previous encounters, underscoring the fine margins that could decide the outcome. A win for Charlton would close the gap to just two points and keep their European hopes alive, whereas West Brom will look to extend their lead and solidify a top‑four push. Both teams will need to tighten up defensively, as the current goal tallies suggest that a single goal could be decisive.
