Hull City
- Hull are 10th in the Championship table and unbeaten in their last three home games (W2, D1).
- Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic has made his mark at the MKM Stadium since taking over in June 2025, developing an exciting, high-energy attacking style that is very vertical, but always built up in the center of the field.
- They have an abundance of players to get beyond the opposition’s first line of pressing and plenty of runners from deep to break through the second line.
- The Tigers have scored an average of 1.80 goals per home game in the Championship, but have also conceded an average of 1.60 - so we can expect another open game on Saturday according to our Hull City vs Charlton Athletic betting tips.
- Hull have been in good form recently, winning three of their last five with one tie and a defeat.
Charlton Athletic
- Charlton sit just above the Tigers in ninth, also on 15 points from 10 games, but have taken 4 points from their last 3 away fixtures.
- Nathan Jones has done a great job at Charlton since February 2024 and his teams always press intensely, play narrow when they have the ball and have a strong set-piece routine.
- The Addicks are also more flexible tactically than the average Championship side, which is a big plus because they can set up to match Hull’s system or to exploit it.
- Charlton have won three of their last five, drawn one and lost one, coming back strongly from a 2-0 away defeat to Preston North End to beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 at home.
Key Players
- Oli McBurnie leads the Hull attack with six goals in 10 Championship games, four in the last five, and is always a threat to score.
- James Bree is Charlton’s most creative player, having provided three assists in their last five and the same overall tally this term, usually from wide areas.
- Sonny Carey is their top scorer with three goals in 10 league games and provides some end-product from midfield to complement Bree.
