- Charlton Athletic are unbeaten at home in Championship 2026/2027, winning both games and averaging 1.5 goals per game.
- Portsmouth have 1 win and 1 defeat from their 2 away fixtures in Championship 2026/2027, already conceding 3 away goals.
- Milovanovic has 2 goals in 5 Championship 2026/2027 games, 2 of which came in Pompey's last 5 games, so he is a solid anytime goal pick.
The Addicks should be in the mix
Charlton Athletic (6th, 10 points) face Portsmouth (14th, 6 points) in a mid-table Championship 2026/2027 clash at The Valley, England on Saturday. Both sides have inconsistent form ahead of this meeting and there doesn't appear to be much to separate them at the moment.
The Addicks have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last 5 matches, so they arrive at The Valley looking for a response after a 1-1 draw at West Bromwich and a 4-0 hammering away to Stoke. Portsmouth have been similarly inconsistent with 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 5. Pompey were downed 2-1 away to Bristol City, fell 0-2 at home to Derby County, before seeing off Cardiff City 2-0 in their most recent game at Fratton Park.
Narrow home win expected
Portsmouth will likely have to score to take anything from this game, but Charlton are favourites for a reason, and have never lost either of their home games in this Championship 2026/2027 campaign. As such, the 39/25 odds on the home side are a bit too short for this game. At 87/50, Portsmouth are tempting at all, while the draw at 43/20 is also a consideration.
Pompey also have not lost their last 2 Championship 2025/2026 games away to Charlton Athletic, so they won't be expecting an easy time on Saturday either. John Mousinho has given the south-coast side a structured, possession-based system which can move into a more direct or pressing game when necessary, so Pompey can be a tough nut to crack when they need to be.
Tyreece Campbell can unlock the game for the home team
Charlton have a little more pace and tempo about them and that should suit this clash, which will likely be tight in the midfield as Portsmouth build from the back. Nathan Jones has been flexible with his team and they've impressed when their pacey wingers have been able to get forward and create fast breaks.
Tyreece Campbell is the spark of this Charlton Athletic side and he has the direct edge to change a game in the final third with his pace and dribbling. Campbell has 3 goals in 5 Championship 2026/2027 fixtures and looks the most likely man to break this fixture one way or another.
Marko Milovanovic has 2 in 5 for Pompey and he is the most reliable option up front for them. Under 2.5 goals at 13/20 appeals as the best play here, while both teams to score at 9/10 is the next option in the 3-way market.
