Football : England: Championship
Venue: The Valley
Saturday 18th October 2025, 1500hrs (GMT)
Charlton Athletic headed into the international break on the back of a 2-0 loss away from home at Preston NE but although The Addicks return to The Valley for this Saturday afternoon’s encounter with Sheffield Wednesday, the London club’s recent results suggest it may be a tighter affair than many expect.
Indeed, Charlton Athletic have managed to capture just two wins in their last nine matches in all competitions which came by way of victories over the likes of Sheffield United (away) and Blackburn Rovers (home) but also includes being dealt four defeats as well.
Losses to Leicester City, QPR and aforementioned Preston NE have prevented Charlton from lifting themselves further up the Championship table with The Addicks sitting in 13th place prior to this weekend.
Sheffield Wednesday remain in the bottom three of the Championship table following their comprehensive 5-0 loss at home to high-flying Coventry City just before the international break but there were signs of a possible revival beforehand.
Henrik Pedersen’s side picked up a valuable three points with a 2-0 win away from home at Portsmouth and The Owls also collected important points in draws with QPR and Birmingham City in 1-1 and 2-2 draws respectively.
Influential midfielder and captain Barry Bannan has almost single-handedly dragged Sheffield Wednesday through what is a desperate looking situation on and off the field but the Yorkshire club may fancy their chances of making things difficult for their hosts this Saturday, especially as they hold a steady looking away record of 1-2-1 7/6.
The Betting Verdict
Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in their last seven meetings against Charlton Athletic, picking up six wins in the process.
The Pick :
Charlton Athletic 1-2 Sheffield Weds
