Charlton vs West Brom Prediction

Charlton completed back to back losses yet again after they were taken down by Swansea on the road with a narrow 1-0 scorecard. Despite recording more shots on target than their foes in that latter clash, the hosts were just not clinical in their efforts and deservedly made the trip back home empty-handed.

The home side have now picked up a win just once in their previous ten matchups on the trot. Miserably, they have also admitted defeat in six of those clashes.

Meanwhile, West Brom are on a winless streak of their own. The guests have been hit by a sharp decline in form which has seen them fail to taste success in their last four games, thereby marking their longest stretch without a win this season.

Be that as it may, the visitors have not shown any signs of slowing down in their respective outings and have dropped points just twice in their previous seven. Impressively, they have also stumbled just once on the road this season. To top it off, they are currently the best away-side in the Championship.

In sharp contrast, Charlton have let down the home crowd far too many times this term. They have come away with the win just once in their past six games here.

Taking into account that they have not secured the bragging rights against this foe in any of their last four meetings at this stadium either, count on West Brom to cruise past the Charlton in this one.

Furthermore, the hosts have been keen on getting their names on the scoresheet at home. Impressively, eighteen of the thirty-four goals that they have scored so far have come from their clashes at the Valley.

However, at the same time, the home side have not looked sharp in their own defensive third and have conceded two goals or more in three of their previous four fixtures here.

On the other hand, West Brom have failed to find the back of the net just once in their outings. Given that their last h2h meeting also witnessed a total of four goals between them, count on over 2.5 goals on the charts, by all means, this weekend.
