Charlton (away)

• Charlton have won 2, drawn 3 and lost 3 of their 8 Championship away games in 2025-2026.
• The Addicks edged out West Brom 1-0 at home but were beaten 1-0 by Wrexham on their most recent trip.
• Nathan Jones took over at The Valley in February 2024 and has turned Charlton into a pragmatic team with high intensity, high-pressing players that have a goal threat.
