The Championship season is now in full swing with matchday three as 10th-place Charlton Athletic hosts 12th-placed Leicester City on Saturday afternoon. Check out our analysis as well as a prediction for this match between the Addicks and the Foxes!
It’s been an encouraging start to the 2025-26 campaign for Charlton, who won promotion through the League One play-off last season. After a 1-0 home win over Watford on opening day, the London side would follow that up with a solid performance that earned them a point in a 0-0 draw away with Bristol.
Crammed in between those two league fixtures was a 3-1 home win over Stevenage in the EFL Cup, meaning that Charlton has experienced an unbeaten start to the season.
As for Leicester, things haven’t been as positive. While they started things off with a 2-1 win in matchday one, it required a red card in the second half against a severely-depleted Sheffield Wednesday before finally finding the winner in the 87th minute.
They would then fall on penalties to Huddersfield in the EFL Cup after a 2-2 full time scoreline which was followed up by a 2-1 loss to Preston last weekend.
It was a particularly bad performance in the recent defeat as the Lilywhites carved the Foxes open to the tune of 2.48 expected goals and three clear cut chances while creating just 0.92 xG themselves.

Our Charlton Athletic vs Leicester Prediction
Charlton fans will be thrilled with their team’s fine start this year. They’ve proven over the first three games that they have what it takes to frustrate this Leicester team in front of the home crowd.
There could be a decent amount of value in backing Charlton to win this one straight up given how good they have looked to start the season, combined with Leicester’s struggles. We’ll play it safe here though and take the hosts to avoid defeat. Our Charlton vs Leicester City prediction: Charlton double chance.
