West Ham vs Charlton is a 3pm kick-off at the London Stadium, with the relegated hosts strong favourites against a Charlton side that survived in the Championship last season.

West Ham drop into the second tier with one of the strongest squads in the division, while Charlton will aim to frustrate. Andy Francis has the best bets, our score prediction and the head-to-head record below. The game kicks off at 3pm BST on Saturday, August 22nd.

Premium Tips

Andy is with the hosts, whose Premier League quality should be too much for Charlton on home soil.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
West Ham to win, over 3.5 goals and Taty Castellanos to score anytime15/4West Ham’s gulf in class over a Charlton side set up purely to survive should make this a comfortable afternoon at the London Stadium. Bowen and Fullkrug lead an attack packed with Premier League quality, and with the Addicks likely to sit deep and absorb pressure for long spells, chances should keep coming for the hosts. Castellanos offers a further attacking outlet and carries more than enough quality to find the net against a defence facing wave after wave of pressure. With West Ham expected to dominate territory and create freely, a big home win stacked with goals looks the likely outcome, supporting the over 3.5 alongside Castellanos to score.
Conor Coventry to be booked, Jarrod Bowen over 1.5 shots on target and Manor Solomon over 0.5 shots on target11/2Coventry is likely to sit at the base of Charlton’s midfield, breaking up West Ham’s attempts to disrupt the game’s rhythm, and that ball-winning, combative role invites bookings, particularly in a match the Hammers are expected to dominate territorially. Bowen is West Ham’s standout performer and a class act at this level, so with plenty of the ball and Charlton retreating into a low block, he should get enough sight of goal to clear 1.5 shots on target. Solomon offers width and directness down the flank, and against a side committed to defending deep, at least one effort on target from him across the 90 minutes looks a fair ask.

How West Ham United go into the game

West Ham drop into the Championship after relegation from the Premier League, and they carry one of the most talented squads in the division. Bouncing straight back is the clear expectation.

Jarrod Bowen and Niclas Fullkrug lead a powerful attack, with far too much quality on paper for most opponents. Making the London Stadium a fortress is the priority.

How Charlton Athletic go into the game

Charlton finished 19th last season on 53 points, doing enough to preserve their Championship status. Another battle towards safety looks the likely story this term.

The Addicks are well organised and will set up to frustrate at the London Stadium. Keeping it tight and staying in the game for as long as possible is the realistic plan.
