Charlton vs Coventry Prediction and Betting Tips 1 January 2026

Charlton welcome Championship leaders Coventry City in a clash shaped by contrasting form and confidence levels. As the league leaders are determined to start 2026 in style, we predict a 2-0 away win. The Addicks have struggled for consistency, picking up just 0.70 points per game overall, though their home record is more respectable at 1.50 PPG. They average 1.00 goal scored at The Valley but continue to concede too easily, allowing 1.75 goals per home match. No fresh injury concerns have been reported for Charlton following their 2-1 loss at Portsmouth, with Edwards, Hernandez, and Godden still in the recovery room.

Frank Lampard's men, on the other hand, travel to London after a heart-breaking setback, losing 2-0 to Ipswich in Monday’s derby, yet they remain statistically dominant across the league. The visitors boast 2.00 points per game overall, including an impressive 1.60 PPG away, and score 1.40 goals per match on the road. Their expected goals numbers (1.73 away) reflect a consistent attacking threat. However, injuries to Dovin and Thomas-Asante slightly limit their options going forward.

Given Coventry's excellent expect goals rate on the road, Away Win is our main betting tip, with additional value on Over 1.5 goals and Coventry Over 1.5.

This Championship match will be played on Thursday 1 January 2026 at 15:00.
