Double Chance
Charlton or Draw
72%
Confidence

Charlton have been solid on home turf this season, winning both league games at The Valley while conceding an average of only 0.5 goals per match. Across five head-to-head encounters hosted by Charlton, QPR have never won, recording two draws and three defeats. Although Charlton manage a lengthy absence list including nine sidelined players, their defensive stability at home coupled with QPR coming off a shutout loss against Middlesbrough makes the home double chance a well-supported outcome in a traditionally low-scoring matchup.
