Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Charlton Athletic to win and under 2.5 goals3/1Charlton head into this one buoyant after a statement win at West Ham, and home advantage at The Valley adds to their edge over a Preston side who were second best in a 3-1 home defeat to Wolves last time out. Despite that scoreline, North End remain a typically well-organised, hard-to-break-down outfit away from home, and with Charlton unlikely to need to chase the game against a side searching for defensive stability, a tight, low-event contest decided by a slender home margin looks the most probable outcome. Expect control and quality to edge it rather than a flurry of goals at either end
Karlan Ahearne-Grant over 0.5 shots on target and Collins Sichenje to be booked3/1Ahearne-Grant remains Charlton’s central attacking focal point and has racked up a healthy shot count this season, regularly testing keepers even when his overall conversion has been inconsistent, so getting at least one effort on target against a Preston defence low on confidence is a reasonable ask. Sichenje, meanwhile, has picked up cards at a notable rate in his short Charlton career as a combative, last-line centre-back, and facing a Preston side needing to press for a response, he looks likely to pick up another caution defending crosses and second balls under pressure

How Charlton Athletic go into the game

Charlton could hardly have dreamed of a better result than a 2-1 win at West Ham last weekend. The Valley will be rocking as the Addicks look to build on that famous victory.

Newly promoted but full of belief, Charlton are well-organised and dangerous. Backing up that win at home would mark a superb start to life back in the Championship.

How Preston North End go into the game

Preston were beaten 3-1 at home by Wolves last weekend, outclassed by promotion-fancied opponents. They travel to London needing a response to steady their season.

North End are typically well-drilled and hard to beat, but they were second best last time. A trip to a buoyant Charlton is a demanding test.
