Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Coventry vs Charlton in the Championship. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 15:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Coventry vs Charlton
• Date: Saturday, 29 November 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: Coventry Building Society Arena

Coventry are coming into this match with a strong run of form, having won four out of their last five games. Their attacking prowess was on full display in their recent victories, particularly against Middlesbrough and Sheffield United. With a solid defensive line and a midfield that can control the game, Coventry should be able to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities.

Charlton, on the other hand, have struggled recently, losing three of their last five matches. Their defence has been leaky, conceding multiple goals in their losses to Stoke City and Southampton. While they have shown they can score, as seen in their win against West Brom, they will need to tighten up at the back to stand a chance against a confident Coventry side.

Match Prediction: Coventry 2-1 Charlton

Coventry are in excellent form, having secured four wins in their last five matches. Their most recent victory was a convincing 4-2 win away at Middlesbrough, showcasing their ability to score goals on the road. This run of form should give them a significant boost in confidence and momentum going into the match against Charlton.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 4-2 vs Middlesbrough (A)
• Win: 3-2 vs West Brom (H)
• Win: 1-0 vs Stoke City (A)
• Win: 3-1 vs Sheffield Utd (H)
• Loss: 2-3 vs Wrexham (A)

Charlton have had a tough run lately, losing three out of their last five games. Their defence has been particularly vulnerable, as evidenced by the heavy defeats against Stoke City and Southampton. Despite a win against West Brom, their inconsistent form suggests they will need to be at their best to challenge a confident Coventry side.

Recent Championship Results:

• Loss: 0-3 vs Stoke City (A)
• Loss: 1-5 vs Southampton (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Wrexham (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs West Brom (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Swansea (H)

Coventry and Charlton haven't played each other in the Championship for many years, so we can't use recent history as a guide for this match. If current form were to be taken into account, however, this would suggest Coventry are the team to beat.

• Oliver Dovin (Knee) - Out

• Haji Wright (Hip) - Doubt

• Matt Godden (Knee) - Out

• Charlie Kelman (Muscle) - Doubt

• Josh Edwards (Ankle) - Doubt

• Reece Burke (Foot) - Doubt

• Predicted lineup: Rushworth (GK), van Ewijk (DF), Thomas (DF), Kitching (DF), Dasilva (DF), Grimes (MF), Torp (MF), Sakamoto (MF), Eccles (MF), Thomas-Asante (MF), Simms (AT)

Coventry are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Rushworth in goal and a back four of van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, and Dasilva. This setup should allow them to maintain a solid defensive structure while enabling their attacking players, such as Sakamoto and Simms, to exploit spaces and create scoring opportunities.

• Predicted lineup: Kaminski (GK), Ramsay (DF), Gillesphey (DF), Jones (DF), Coventry (MF), Bree (MF), Berry (MF), Docherty (MF), Campbell (MF), Carey (AT), Leaburn (AT)

Charlton are likely to deploy a 3-1-4-2 formation, with Kaminski between the posts and a back three of Ramsay, Jones, and Gillesphey. This formation could help them be more compact defensively, but they will need their midfield, led by Bree and Docherty, to be effective in breaking up play and supporting the attack.

• Ellis Simms vs Macaulay Gillesphey: Simms' goal-scoring ability will be tested against Gillesphey's defensive solidity.

• Tatsuhiro Sakamoto vs James Bree: Sakamoto's creativity in midfield will face a stern challenge from Bree's defensive nous.

• Matt Grimes (Coventry): Grimes is crucial for Coventry's midfield control and distribution.

• Miles Leaburn (Charlton): Leaburn's goal threat will be vital for Charlton's chances of getting a result.
