• Fixture: Hull City vs Charlton Athletic
• Date: Saturday, 25 October 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 BST
• Venue: MKM Stadium

Hull City's recent form has been solid, with three wins in their last five games. They've shown they can score goals, bagging two or more in three of those matches. Charlton have been equally impressive, winning three out of their last five. Both teams like to play on the front foot, so expect an open, entertaining game with plenty of chances.

Hull City might just have the edge at home, especially with their knack for scoring. Charlton's defence will need to be on top form to keep Hull's attackers at bay. It could be a close one, but Hull's recent home performances suggest they might just nick it.

Hull City are in fine fettle, having won three of their last five games. They've shown they can grind out results, like the 1-0 win against Sheffield United, and also play expansive football, as seen in the 3-2 victory over Birmingham. This form should give them confidence going into this match.

Their home record is particularly strong, with two wins and a draw in their last three at home. If they can maintain that level of performance, they'll be tough to beat against Charlton.

• Win: 2-1 vs Leicester City (H)
• Win: 3-2 vs Birmingham City (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Sheffield United (H)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Preston North End (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Watford (A)

Charlton have been in good nick too, securing three wins in their last five outings. They've been clinical in front of goal, scoring three times in two of those victories. This suggests they'll be a threat going forward against Hull.

However, their away form has been a bit patchy, with a loss and a draw in their last two away games. They'll need to be at their best to get a result at Hull's ground.

• Win: 3-0 vs Ipswich Town (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Sheffield Wednesday (H)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Preston North End (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Derby County (A)
• Win: 3-0 vs Blackburn Rovers (H)

Predicted lineup: Pandur (GK), Drameh (DF), Hughes (DF), Ajayi (DF), Giles (DF), Slater (MF), Hadziahmetovic (MF), Gelhardt (MF), Crooks (MF), Millar (MF), Joseph (AT)

With a strong midfield featuring Slater and Hadziahmetovic, Hull City will look to control the game and create chances for Joseph up top. Their solid backline, led by Ajayi and Hughes, should provide a good foundation to build from.

Predicted lineup: Kaminski (GK), Bree (DF), Ramsay (DF), Gillesphey (DF), Jones (DF), Bell (DF), Carey (MF), Coventry (MF), Docherty (MF), Olaofe (AT), Kelman (AT)

Charlton's predicted lineup suggests they'll rely on their attacking duo of Olaofe and Kelman to cause problems for Hull's defence. Their five-man backline, anchored by Jones, will need to be disciplined to keep Hull's forwards quiet.

• Joseph vs Jones: This will be a key battle between Hull City's striker and Charlton's experienced defender.
• Slater vs Carey: Expect a midfield tussle between Hull's energetic Slater and Charlton's creative Carey.
• Millar (Hull City): Millar's ability to control the midfield and create chances will be crucial for Hull City.
• Coventry (Charlton Athletic): Coventry's role in dictating play from midfield could be vital for Charlton's chances.
