Our Charlton Athletic vs Bolton Wanderers predictions for tonight’s 7.45pm (UK time) kick-off back Over 10.5 match corners at 1/1 (Betfred), with our score prediction Charlton Athletic 2-1 Bolton Wanderers. Charlton Athletic host Bolton Wanderers at The Valley at 7.45pm on Tuesday, with two sides level on 14 points and desperate to climb clear of the Championship‘s lower reaches.
Our Charlton Athletic vs Bolton Wanderers predictions and betting tips lean towards goals and a narrow home win, with both of these Championship strugglers carrying soft defences into a game neither can afford to lose. Charlton have the better recent head-to-head record, but form on both sides has been patchy at best.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects goals at The Valley and has paired a corners line with a result and goals combination, both leaning on two leaky defences.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 10.5 match corners | 1/1 (Betfred) | Both of these sides concede plenty and chase games, which is the sort of pattern that tends to produce a steady flow of set-pieces. Charlton have drawn three of six at home and often huff and puff without a cutting edge, forcing corners as they probe, while Bolton commit numbers forward and have won two of six on their travels. With two defences shipping goals freely, 21 against for Charlton and 26 for Bolton, we expect plenty of pressure at both ends and the 10.5 corners line to be cleared comfortably. |
| Charlton Athletic and both teams to score | 10/3 (Sky Bet) | Charlton are narrow favourites and have lost just once in six at The Valley, so backing them to edge it makes sense against a Bolton side that has lost five of seven on home soil and looks vulnerable anywhere. The attraction here is the goals attached, with Bolton finding the net in plenty of their defeats and Charlton’s own back line far from watertight. Pairing a home win with both teams scoring at 10/3 looks a fair price given Bolton’s attacking returns and the hosts conceding in most of their recent outings. |

How Charlton Athletic go into the game
Charlton Athletic sit 20th in the Championship on 14 points, with three wins, five draws and five defeats from their opening 13 games. They were beaten 3-0 at Middlesbrough last time out, a third straight defeat that leaves them without a win in five.
The Valley has at least offered some resilience, with just one defeat in six at home, though three of those games were drawn and only five goals have been scored there. Goals remain the problem all over the pitch, with Charlton failing to find the net in five of their 13 league games and managing just 11 all season.
How Bolton Wanderers go into the game
Bolton Wanderers travel south level on points with the hosts, a place better off in 19th after four wins, two draws and seven defeats. They were beaten 3-2 at home by Bristol City last time out, having shipped five at home to Middlesbrough the game before.
Oddly for a struggling side, the road has been kinder than home for Bolton, who have won two, drawn two and lost two on their travels, including a 3-1 victory at Wolves. The defence is the overriding concern, with 26 goals conceded, a tally bettered for leakiness only by bottom club Preston North End.
Charlton Athletic vs Bolton Wanderers head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21/01/25 | Bolton Wanderers | 1-2 | Charlton Athletic |
| 24/08/24 | Charlton Athletic | 2-0 | Bolton Wanderers |

| 28/10/23 | Charlton Athletic | 0-2 | Bolton Wanderers |
| 28/01/23 | Charlton Athletic | 1-2 | Bolton Wanderers |
Recent history slightly favours the hosts, with Charlton winning the two most recent league meetings, including a 2-0 home win in August 2024. Bolton, though, won two of the three before that, so there is little between them over the piece.
