Swansea City
- The Swans sit comfortably in 11th with 61 points from 45 games, the definition of a mid-table club in the second tier with an even split of 10 wins, six draws and six defeats in 22 home games.
- Vitor Matos has done a steady job since taking over in November 2025, implementing a pragmatic, disciplined style of play that ensures his side are difficult to break down.
- His side have won two, drawn two and lost just one of their last five games, and their last two outings have been away.
- An away win at QPR and a draw at Norwich have kept the Welsh club in solid mid-table form and they will need to beat Charlton to keep that record intact.
Charlton Athletic
- The Addicks are unbeaten in their last two away matches, with an away draw at Sheffield Wednesday; their last three also include a home win over Hull and a home defeat to Ipswich.
- Nathan Jones has impressed with his work since taking over in February 2024, stamping his trademark high-intensity pressing style onto this Charlton Athletic side.
- The Addicks sit 19th in the Championship with 53 points from 45 matches and, although they are not in immediate danger, a poor run of results would likely see them dragged into the relegation battle.
Head-to-Head
The last meeting between these sides finished 1-1 at the Valley and we’re expecting a similar result, albeit one that will be livened up by the late-season matchup.
