Charlton v Stoke Tips

Stoke have only managed 3 draws and 2 losses from their last 5 games but have won the last 2 meetings against Charlton. I think Stoke will win this game.

Charlton come into this with confidence after winning their previous home game against Stoke 3-1, showing strong attacking form. There is also a managerial edge, as Charlton coach Nathan Jones has a positive head-to-head record against Mark Robins. With home advantage and recent momentum on their side, Charlton look well placed to get another good result here.

Charlton Athletic have taken to grinding out points in difficult games. Stoke City something the same. This looks a likely stalemate.

This line hasn't been covered in 4 of the last 5 games Charlton played at home. It also hasn't been covered in the last 6 games Stoke played on the road.

Last three games between them have offered more than three goals easily each time. Today will also be over because both teams have a good attack this season, with more than 35 goals easily scored. Favourite today is Charlton because they are in better shape and also have a better attack.

Mark Robins' team plays a pragmatic game on the road, scoring as many goals as possible and conceding as few as possible. Only five of Stoke City's 16 away games have resulted in more goals, with an overall average of 1.8 goals. Charlton plays a similar game at home: only five of their 14 home games have seen more than two goals scored, with an overall average of 2.07 goals.

Charlton won just two of their last ten matches in all competitions. Stoke won and kept a clean sheet in the reverse fixture between these teams.
