Charlton Form
Blackpool Form
Charlton Athletic will face Blackpool FC at The Valley on Saturday at 15:00. With Charlton Athletic currently occupying 3rd place in the table and Blackpool struggling at 19th, this match carries high stakes for both sides. This fixture will be interesting to see if Charlton can maintain their solid form or if Blackpool can begin their resurgence. For those looking for Charlton Athletic vs Blackpool FC betting tips, this match preview offers predictions for various markets, including match results, correct score, over/under and bet builders.
Charlton Athletic comes into this match in strong form, having amassed 13 points from their first six games. Their defence has been solid, conceding only three goals, while their attack has been efficient, scoring six. Under the management of Dean Holden, Charlton’s balance of solid defence and effective offence has made them tough to beat, especially at home.
On the other side, Blackpool has struggled early in the season. Sitting near the relegation zone with just five points, Stephen Roger Bruce’s men will be desperate for a result. Blackpool’s defence has been leaky, having conceded 12 goals already, but their recent 2-1 win against Exeter City may give them hope.
Our Charlton Athletic vs Blackpool FC betting tips suggest a home victory, but Blackpool’s need for points could make this a closer contest than expected.
Charlton’s home form, with two wins and one draw at The Valley, suggests they will be tough to break down. Blackpool’s poor away form, with no victories on the road further supports the likelihood of Charlton taking all three points. Given the contrasting fortunes of the two sides, our prediction heavily favours the Addicks with their overall quality, particularly in defence, where they’ve conceded just one goal at home this season.
Match Prediction: Charlton Athletic To Win @ 27/20 with bet365.
Considering the current form of both teams, a low-scoring game is expected. Charlton’s solid defence has kept them in games, while Blackpool has struggled to find consistency in front of goal. A 2-0 or 1-0 scoreline in favour of Charlton seems plausible, with Blackpool’s defensive weaknesses and Charlton’s solid backline being key factors. The last meeting between these two sides ended in a 1-1 draw, but with Charlton in better form, our score prediction is a 2-0 home win.
Correct Score Prediction: Charlton Athletic 2-0 @ 12/1 with bet365.
Charlton has shown resilience in defence, particularly at home, and Blackpool has struggled to score away from Bloomfield Road. Given these dynamics, it seems unlikely that Blackpool will get on the scoreboard. Therefore, our Over/Under tip is to focus on the under 2.5 goals market.
Over/Under Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals @ 17/20 with bet365.
For bet builder tips, it would be wise to back Charlton to win, over 2 goals, and Gassan Ahadme to score anytime. Charlton’s strong home form, Blackpool’s defensive frailties, and Ahadme’s goal-scoring ability make this a solid combination for value, with plenty of potential for goals and a comfortable Charlton victory.
Bet Builder Tip: Match result will be Charlton and Over 2 Goals and Gassan Ahadme to Score Anytime @ 15/2 with bet365.
