Preview

Match preview

West Brom welcome league leaders Charlton to The Hawthorns for an early-season top-six clash in the Championship. The hosts enter the contest in sixth place with six points from three matches, having scored six goals and conceded five. Their lone home league outing resulted in a convincing 3-1 victory over Burnley, though they arrive off the back of a 3-1 away defeat against Middlesbrough.

Charlton have enjoyed a perfect start to their league campaign, sitting top of the table with nine points from three consecutive wins. They have netted five times while conceding only twice in league action, most recently securing a 1-0 home victory over Preston. However, the visitors carry a lengthy availability list heading into this fixture, including injuries to defenders B. Koumetio and K. Ramsay.

Recent meetings between these two sides have been tightly contested, with three of the last five encounters finishing level, including a 1-1 draw at The Hawthorns in February 2026. With both teams displaying reliable scoring records in the early stages of the season, another closely fought encounter is on the cards.

Both Teams to Score

Yes

72%

Confidence

Both teams have found the net in every single Championship fixture they have played this season. West Brom have shown plenty of attacking threat led by J. Morgan, who has contributed two goals and two assists, but their defense has conceded an average of 1.7 goals per game and is yet to keep a clean sheet. Charlton have scored in all three league outings, averaging 1.7 goals per game, and with 60 percent of the last five head-to-head fixtures seeing both teams score, there is a strong statistical probability of goals at both ends.
