Portsmouth look to respond after a 1-1 Boxing Day draw with QPR, a result that extended their unbeaten run to three but highlighted their ongoing issues in attack. With Charlton struggling up front on the road, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. At home they have been far more reliable, taking 1.60 points per game and conceding just 0.80 goals on average, backed by a solid 1.71 expected goals at Fratton Park. However, the absence of key forward Josh Murphy—injured in the QPR match—remains a major blow for their creativity.
The capital club travel south following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Norwich City, a match where they struggled to create clear chances and again highlighted their lack of cutting edge. Away from home they are winless, taking only 0.20 points per game, scoring just 0.40 goals per away outing, and carrying a worrying 2.07 xGA. Their squad depth is stretched too, with Edwards, Godden, and Hernandez all still in the recovery room after the Norwich loss.
As both teams average under 1 goal scored individually, we believe that there is big value in betting on Under 2.5 goals, alongside Draw and Half-Time Draw.
This Championship match will be played on Monday 29 December 2025 at 19:45.
