A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: Championship
Venue: St Andrews
Saturday 13th December 2025, 1500hrs (GMT)
Birmingham City will be eager to return to St Andrews for this upcoming encounter at home against fellow promoted side from last season’s League One, Charlton Athletic, following back-to-back defeats on the road.
Losses away at Southampton and QPR respectively only served to underline Birmingham’s struggles away from St Andrews but at least The Blues will be on familiar ground this Saturday as Chris Davies’ side look to bounce back with all three points and further enhance St Andrews as a fortress.
A home record standing at 6-2-1 21/8 suggests Birmingham City have enough about them to return to winning ways, especially as The Blues have won each of their last four home games on the trot in the Championship.
Charlton Athletic sit in 19th place in the Championship table and on a far inferior budget than that of their west midlands hosts and this has been one of the contributors to a worrying five-match losing streak in recent weeks in the Championship.
Charlton manager Nathan Jones has the unenviable task of trying to lift The Addicks out of the doldrums after being dealt losses by the likes of Wrexham, Southampton, Stoke City, Coventry City and Middlesbrough respectively.
The London club have tended to struggle away from home so far this season as the visitors possess a fairly ordinary looking away record of 2-3-5 8/14 so far in this season’s Championship campaign, and The Addicks will do well to get anything out of a highly motivated Birmingham City outfit at St Andrews.
The Betting Verdict
Birmingham City’s impressive and solid record at St Andrews should see the hosts overcome Charlton here.
The Pick :
Birmingham City 2-1 Charlton Athletic
