- League position: West Brom are 2nd in the Championship 2026/2027 on 6 points from 2 matches, level on points but one place above 3rd-placed Charlton.
- Away form: Charlton are unbeaten in 1 match on the road in the Championship 2026/2027, letting in just 1.00 goals per away match.
- Head-to-head: The Addicks are unbeaten in their last 2 matches against West Brom (W1, D1) but this meeting will be closer than the 1-1 draw recorded at this ground at the end of last season.
Tight affair expected at The Hawthorns
The Addicks are 3rd in the Championship 2026/2027 table and have 6 points from 2 games, so this will be a top of the table battle with real promotion buzz. West Brom are the favorites at 1.73, but Charlton at 5.0 and the draw at 3.6 are very tempting for this encounter.
And with James Morrison's Baggies playing a pressing, pragmatic and high-tempo 4-2-3-1 system, these two are well placed to create a close match. Under 2.5 goals at 1.75 seems the right fit here with West Brom slightly more likely to control the tempo.
West Brom can squeeze out the win
Form and recent results
West Brom are the team in form with 4 wins from their last 5 and two recent Championship 2026/2027 results to point to, a 2-1 away win at Norwich and a 3-1 home win over Burnley, that suggest the hosts have enough to nick it on Wednesday night.
The Hawthorns has seen West Brom average 3.00 goals per game in the Championship 2026/2027, which is a clear indication of the firepower in West Brom right now.
Key players
- Young Isaac Price is the main threat for the hosts with 2 goals in 2 Championship 2026/2027 matches and Jimmy-Jay Morgan's 2 assists and pace on the break have been a real treat for fans in recent games.
Opposition form
Charlton come into this in mixed form with 3 wins and 2 defeats from their last 5, but back-to-back Championship wins over Derby and West Ham will have them brimming with confidence ahead of this fixture.
Addicks can play their part
Nathan Jones has set Charlton up to be a compact team that sits deep, stays organised and attacks fast on the counter with the quality to hurt teams on the turn. The visitors should be able to disrupt West Brom a little and Lloyd Jones will be the man to watch after he opened his Championship 2026/2027 account with 2 goals in 2 games.
Jones has scored 2 of the last 4 Charlton goals in their last 5 competitive matches and could be a good option in the scorer market for this match.
