Bolton vs Charlton (26 January 2027, Championship): match facts, H2H and recent form

Bolton host Charlton in what promises to be a clash of contrasting fortunes, with the home side languishing in 20th place on just seven points from seven games, while Charlton sit comfortably in seventh with twelve. Bolton’s record of two wins, one draw and four defeats and a -5 goal difference (seven scored, twelve conceded) starkly contrasts with Charlton’s more balanced three victories, three stalemates and a single loss, leaving them just one goal shy of an even tally. The meeting pits a struggling Bolton side desperate for points to climb out of the relegation zone against a Charlton outfit that, despite conceding seven, has shown resilience in tight games. Historically, the two clubs have traded blows in the lower tiers, and this encounter could be decisive for Bolton’s survival hopes and Charlton’s push for a top‑six finish.
