• Date: Saturday, 27 September 2025

• Venue: The Valley

Match Prediction: Charlton Athletic 1-2 Blackburn Rovers.

Charlton Athletic might fancy their chances at home, especially after that solid win against Sheffield United. They've been a bit up and down lately, but they've shown they can grind out results. Blackburn Rovers, on the other hand, have been only a little more consistent, winning two of their last five. They'll be looking to exploit any defensive lapses from Charlton, who sometimes struggle to keep clean sheets.

The game could be tight, with both teams having their moments. Charlton will need to be sharp in midfield to control the game, while Blackburn's attacking threat could be the difference. It's all about who take their chances on the day.

Charlton's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster. They managed a great win against Sheffield United away, but drew and lost a couple before that. Their home form has been patchy, with a loss to Leicester and a draw against Millwall. They'll need to be more solid at the back if they want to get anything from this game.

• Win: 1-0 vs Sheffield United (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Millwall (H)

• Loss: 1-3 vs Queens Park Rangers (A)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Leicester City (H)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Bristol City (A)

Blackburn have been doing alright, winning two out of their last five. They've shown they can win away from home, which bodes well for this trip. Their only major blip was that loss to Norwich at home. If they can keep up their recent form, they should be confident of getting a result here.

• Win: 1-0 vs Watford (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Norwich City (H)

• Win: 3-0 vs Hull City (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Birmingham City (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs West Bromwich Albion (A)

Charlton and Blackburn have had some close encounters in the Championship recently. Blackburn won the last meeting 2-0, but Charlton got a win and a draw in the two games before that. It's been a bit of a mixed bag, with both teams capable of getting the upper hand on their day.

• Adam Forshaw (Muscle) - Doubt

• Predicted lineup: Kaminski, Burke, Jones, Bell, Bree, Carey, Coventry, Docherty, Edwards, Kelman, Campbell

Charlton will rely on the experience of Docherty and Carey in midfield to control the game's tempo. Their defence, led by Jones and Bell, needs to be more solid to keep Blackburn's attackers at bay.

• Predicted lineup: Tóth, Alebiosu, Miller, Wharton, Ribeiro, Tronstad, Gardner-Hickman, Morishita, Cantwell, Hedges, Ohashi

Blackburn's attacking trio of Cantwell, Hedges, and Ohashi will be key to breaking down Charlton's defence. In midfield, Tronstad and Gardner-Hickman will need to dominate to give their forwards the best chance.

• Charlie Kelman vs Scott Wharton: An epic battle between accomplished striker and accomplished defender awaits.

• Ryan Hedges vs Lloyd Jones: Charlton's Jones will have his hands full with the Blackburn player's creative passing and crossing.

• Josh Edwards (Charlton Athletic): The versatile midfielder could be crucial in dictating play for Charlton.

• Yuki Ohashi (Blackburn Rovers): His pace and directness could cause problems for Charlton's backline.
