Match preview

Stoke City welcome Charlton to the bet365 Stadium in round five of the Championship season, with the two sides experiencing contrasting starts to the campaign. Stoke City currently occupy 22nd place in the table with three points from four league outings, having lost three of their four fixtures and conceded nine goals in that span.

Charlton have enjoyed an impressive opening stretch, sitting third in the standings with ten points after three wins and a draw. The Addicks remain unbeaten in league competition, conceding just three goals across four matches while showing consistency on the road with four points gathered from their two away fixtures.

While Stoke did manage a 1-0 victory over Norwich in their most recent home appearance, their defensive fragility across the opening month and Charlton's steady structure make this a tough test for the hosts.

  • Charlton are undefeated in the Championship this season with three wins and one draw from four matches.

Charlton enter this fixture in strong league form, holding an unbeaten record of three wins and one draw through their opening four Championship fixtures. In contrast, Stoke City have suffered three defeats in four league matches, conceding nine goals overall. Although Stoke have won their previous two home meetings against Charlton in recent years, Charlton's defensive record of just 0.8 goals conceded per game this season provides them with a stable platform to take at least a point away from home.
