West Brom vs Charlton - Championship

A fascinating Championship chapter awaits on September 2, 2026 when West Brom take on Charlton at The Hawthorns — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. He is expected to miss the Community Shield game against Arsenal and the opening Premier League fixture of the season as a result.

Both West Brom and Charlton will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Championship. The hosts have been steady if unspectacular, LDWWD in their last five reflecting a win rate of 50%. The visitors have been hard to predict on their travels, LDDLD in their last five reflecting a win rate of 36.96%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — West Brom average 1.89 per game to Charlton's 1.41, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. He was sacked by Fiorentina after Che Adams' late goal for Torino left them bottom of the Serie A table with three defeats out of three.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. West Brom will look to impose their style on home soil, while Charlton are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. And there are still question marks even in attack, where they have an abundance of supporting forwards including Mbeumo, Cunha and Amad Diallo, but only one out-and-out striker in Sesko.

When C. Larin is on the pitch — 7 goals to his name this term — moments of magic are never far away, and the Championship's top scorer will be central to how this one unfolds. The wide areas will be a key battleground, with full-backs and wingers on either side capable of swinging the contest one way or the other.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. The signals point towards a stalemate, with the two sides closely matched across form and standings. A 2-2 draw is easy to envisage. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Championship standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top.
