Data provided by

Cardiff City are still searching for a first win of the Championship season, and the pressure is building at Cardiff City Stadium. Charlton, sitting pretty in the top six, arrive on Saturday hoping to add to the Bluebirds’ early-season misery.

Anthony Eadson’s Cardiff vs Charlton predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson is fading winless Cardiff and siding with the Addicks.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Under 2.5 goals11/8 (Boylesports)This has the makings of a tight, low-scoring afternoon between two shy attacks. Cardiff have managed just seven goals in seven games and remain winless, while Charlton are equally frugal, scoring six and failing to find the net in three of their outings. The Addicks have kept three clean sheets and tend to defend deep on the road, and Cardiff simply lack the cutting edge to break them down. With neither side firing, the unders is the percentage play and 11/8 is a rewarding price for it.
Charlton to win18/5 (Matchbook)For a bigger swing, the value is on the visitors taking all three points. Cardiff are still without a single win this season and have shown little to suggest that changes here, yet the market has them as favourites purely on the basis of home advantage. Charlton are the more organised, more reliable outfit, boasting three clean sheets already, and travel to face a side devoid of confidence. Backing the Addicks to punish a stuttering, winless Cardiff at almost 4/1 is a strong, data-backed piece of value.

How Cardiff City go into the game

Cardiff are yet to win in the Championship after a 1-0 defeat at Bolton, and the mood around Cardiff City Stadium is tense. A first victory is badly needed.

Dangerous in patches but fragile, Cardiff will hope home advantage finally sparks a result.

How Charlton Athletic go into the game

Charlton drew 0-0 with Portsmouth last time out and sit in the play-off places. They travel to Wales in good order.

Well-organised and dangerous on the break, Charlton will fancy their chances of adding to Cardiff’s woes.
