Season Form & Standings
2025/26 season to date
| Team | Pos | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charlton Athletic | 5 | 11 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 13 | 9 | +4 | 18 |
| Hull City | 7 | 11 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 19 | 19 | 0 | 18 |
Despite identical records in terms of results, the difference in goal profiles is striking: Hull are the division’s joint-top scorers but have also conceded as many as they’ve scored, while Charlton make up for a modest attack with the meanest defence in the top half.
Potential Match-Winners
Both sides spread goals and creative responsibility, but keep an eye on the following:
- Ollie McBurnie (Hull City): A lively attacker with six goals, three assists and three yellow cards this season.
- James Bree (Charlton): Charlton’s best chance creator, two goals and three assists this season.
- Matt Crooks (Hull City): Key in midfield, helps Hull transition rapidly and link up attacks; also a threat from set pieces.

Will Hull’s firepower be enough to break down the Addicks, or can Charlton’s defensive discipline deliver another result on the road?
