Charlton Athletic (home)
- Charlton Athletic have won eight, drawn four and lost nine Championship home matches this term.
- Charlton are on a poor run and have failed to win any of their last five Championship matches (D2, L3), so the visitors should be confident of getting a result in London.
Hull City (away)
- Hull City have won ten, drawn four and lost seven Championship away matches this season.
- The Tigers are currently 6th in the Championship table with 69 points from 43 games, just enough to keep them in the playoff mix.
Head-to-Head
- These two clubs have taken opposite approaches to the second half of the Championship campaign, with Nathan Jones pressing his team to the limit and Hull boss Sergej Jakirovic encouraging his side to be more disciplined and patient in their build-up play.
- Charlton’s direct style of play, which sees them press high up the field to win the ball back quickly and then counter-attack in numbers, should leave them vulnerable to Hull’s superior structure when they are in transition.
Key Players
- Matt Godden has been Charlton’s most consistent goal threat during their current rough patch, scoring two of their four goals in that spell.
- Hull have a more clinical option in the shape of Joe Gelhardt.
- Sonny Carey has been a reliable goal scorer for Charlton with eight goals in 43 appearances in the league this campaign.
Betting Insights
Hull average 1.52 goals scored and 1.33 goals conceded per Championship away match, while Charlton have conceded 23 times in 21 home matches in the second tier, so an away win with both teams to score looks a solid exact score wager.
Prediction
Hull to secure the win at 2.81 , as they should be able to exploit the Addicks’ poor form at home in recent months and their own desire to stay in the playoffs.
