🧠 Match Preview

Charlton · Home

Charlton have taken points in both recent home meetings with Bolton, winning 2-0 at home in August 2024, and they drew 1-1 with Bristol City at home in their latest home outing. Their last five matches produced 4 goals for and 11 against, with 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Bolton · Away

Bolton's latest H2H trip to Charlton ended in a 1-2 away win in January 2025, and they also drew 3-3 at home in February 2024. Their last five matches brought 7 goals for and 11 against, including the 3-1 win at Wolves.

Charlton's Home H2H Edge

The H2H record gives the home pick a realistic base: Charlton won 2-0 at home against Bolton in August 2024, while the latest meeting was Bolton's 1-2 home win in January 2025. Charlton's recent home draw was 1-1 against Bristol City, and their recent record shows 2 draws from 5 matches. Bolton's away results include the 3-1 win at Wolves and a 0-0 draw at Southampton, so the away side is not without threat. The evidence supports Charlton win.
