Charlton vs Chelsea Prediction and Betting Tips 10 January 2026

Chelsea take on their local rivals Charlton in an FA Cup last-64 clash that looks, on paper, far more uneven than both teams’ recent form suggests. As Chelsea want to save the season by going all the way in the FA Cup, we predict a 3-1 away win. The Addicks remain in a difficult spell, collecting just 0.60 points per game overall and winning only 10% of their matches. Their defensive issues persist, conceding 2.00 goals per outing and keeping just one clean sheet in their last ten. Reece Burke is unlikely to feature after a knock, further weakening a back line already allowing 1.89 xGA per game.

Chelsea have also been far from convincing. They arrive with a run of DLD DL, averaging 1.00 point per game, and will be without suspended left-back Marc Cucurella. Despite their struggles, the Blues still produce decent attacking output, scoring 1.40 goals per match and generating 1.56 expected goals overall, with their games seeing an average of 2.90 goals. Defensively, however, Chelsea have kept just 20% clean sheets, contributing to an 80% BTTS rate. Liam Delap should continue leading the line for the Blues after finding the net in the 2-1 loss to Fulham.

Given Chelsea's higher quality and stronger underlying numbers, Away Win is our main betting pick for this FA Cup clash, alongside Over 2.5 goals and BTTS as both sides average close to 3.00 total goals per match.

This FA Cup match will be played on Saturday 10 January 2026 at 20:00.
