Expect a thrilling atmosphere at London Stadium when West Ham and Charlton lock horns in this local derby. The Hammers, among the main promotion favourites, opened their campaign with a 2-2 draw against Burnley and will be eager to claim their first victory. Tomas Soucek remains sidelined, but West Ham have plenty of strength in depth, while summer signing Manor Solomon has recovered from a minor injury and could feature.
Charlton, meanwhile, produced an impressive result on Matchday 1, defeating Derby 2-1 away from home. However, the Addicks are not regarded as particularly strong travellers and face a major step up in quality here. Kelman, Ramsay and Ouma remain in the treatment room, while Edwards and Mbick are doubtful.
West Ham have considerably greater squad depth and are promotion favourites, while Charlton often struggle on the travels. Therefore, Home Win is our No. 1 betting tip for this local derby, alongside West Ham to Score First and West Ham Over 1.5 goals (The Hammers average 2.00 goals per game at home across their last 10 matches).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
