Charlton will look to keep their 100% record in the new Championship campaign intact when they welcome Preston to The Valley. The Addicks opened the season with impressive 2-1 victories over Derby and star-studded West Ham, although they suffered a heavy 5-1 EFL Cup defeat to Tottenham in midweek. Their recent games have been particularly entertaining, with BTTS landing in each of their last 10 matches. Charlton also average 1.5 goals per game at home. Collins Shichenje and Billy Koumetio picked up injuries against Spurs and are unlikely to feature.
Preston, meanwhile, are desperate to turn their fortunes around after losing their opening two league games to Bolton and Wolves, followed by a 4-0 EFL Cup defeat to Everton. The Lilywhites have won only two of their last 10 matches and concede 2.1 goals per game during that period. However, their away record offers some hope, with a 50% win rate and 1.75 goals scored per match. Preston have also dominated this H2H, winning nine of the last 12 meetings. Theo Carroll and Brad Potts are unavailable through injury.
As Charlton have been in a much better form than Preston at the start of the season, Home Win should be considered, alongside Charlton Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (8 of the last 12 H2H meetings produced at least three goals).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 15:00.
