Middlesbrough vs Charlton Athletic brings the Championship leaders back to the Riverside on Saturday 31 October, a 3.00pm kick-off with Boro unbeaten on home soil and in red-hot form.
Boro top the table after a 5-1 thrashing of Bolton, while Charlton arrive 19th and without a win in five. Our Middlesbrough vs Charlton Athletic predictions and best bets are below, with Anthony Eadson picking out two selections and the numbers behind them.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has weighed up the Middlesbrough vs Charlton Athletic markets and settled on two picks worth backing.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Will Lankshear 2+ shots on target | 4/5 (Ladbrokes) | Will Lankshear is the Championship’s top scorer with 11 goals, and he has landed 22 shots on target from 43 attempts in 12 league games, close to two a game. Middlesbrough have scored in every match this season and hit 14 in six at the Riverside, while Charlton have shipped 13 goals in six away trips. Lankshear will be the focal point of the leaders’ attack against a stretched back line, and 4/5 with Ladbrokes for two or more efforts on target makes him the safest way into Boro’s firepower. |
| Miles Leaburn to be carded | 15/4 (bet365) | Miles Leaburn has committed 24 fouls in 12 league games, more than any other Charlton player, and he has two bookings to show for it. Leading the line against the division’s leaders, he is likely to spend long spells battling centre-backs and pressing from the front, which is where the free-kicks pile up. Charlton have not won in nine and could be chasing the game, so frustration may set in. At 15/4 with bet365, a card for Leaburn is the outlier price in the market. |

How Middlesbrough go into the game
Middlesbrough top the Championship after 12 games, with 25 points from seven wins, four draws and a single defeat. The leaders go into this one in sparkling form, having hammered Bolton Wanderers 5-1 on the road last time out. That followed a 2-2 home draw with Cardiff City, a 3-2 win at Stoke City, a 1-0 home victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers and a 2-2 draw at Birmingham City.
With 27 goals scored Boro boast the division’s second most potent attack, and at the Riverside they have won four and drawn two of six to stay unbeaten at home. The defence has been breached fairly often, with just two clean sheets all season, but the sheer weight of goals at the other end has carried Teesside to the summit.
How Charlton Athletic go into the game
Charlton Athletic make the trip north 19th in the table, with 14 points from three wins, five draws and four defeats. The Addicks have not won in nine, and lost 3-1 at home to Norwich City last time out. Before that they lost 2-0 at Watford, drew 2-2 at Burnley, shared a 1-1 home draw with Bristol City and were beaten 3-1 at Cardiff City.
Away form is a particular worry for the visitors: one win, two draws and three defeats from six, with 13 goals conceded on their travels. They do tend to find a goal, having scored in four of their last five, but keeping the leaders out for 90 minutes looks a tall order.
Middlesbrough vs Charlton Athletic head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11/03/26 | Middlesbrough | 0-1 | Charlton Athletic |
| 09/12/25 | Charlton Athletic | 1-2 | Middlesbrough |
| 07/03/20 | Charlton Athletic | 0-1 | Middlesbrough |
| 07/12/19 | Middlesbrough | 1-0 | Charlton Athletic |
There is less in the recent head-to-head than Boro’s form suggests. Middlesbrough won three of the four most recent league meetings, but Charlton took the latest clash 1-0 at the Riverside in March 2026 and will travel north without fear. Boro will be keen to put that result right in front of their own fans.
