Team Form
Chelsea's recent form has been mixed, with just one win in their last five competitive matches. Their last five results: a 2-1 loss at Sunderland, a 2-1 home win over Tottenham, a 1-0 home defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup, a 1-1 draw at Liverpool, and a 3-1 home loss to Nottingham Forest. That leaves them with a form string of L-W-L-D-L, clearly below their usual standards.
Charlton Athletic's last five matches include two friendlies and three Championship games. The competitive results: a 3-1 loss at Swansea City, a 2-1 home win over Hull City, and a 2-1 home defeat to Ipswich Town. In full, their form reads D-W-L-W-L, with the friendlies not fully representative. The Addicks have struggled for consistency in the Championship.
Head-to-Head Record
The only previous meeting between these sides in the database ended in a dominant 5-1 away win for Chelsea at Charlton Athletic. That result heavily influences the win probability, showing the gulf in class when the teams last met.
Win Probability: Chelsea or Charlton Athletic?
We calculate the win probabilities as follows: Chelsea win โ 65%, draw โ 20%, Charlton Athletic win โ 15%. The calculation is based on the quality gap between the Premier League and the Championship, Chelsea's home advantage at Stamford Bridge, and the 5-1 head-to-head result. Chelsea's poor recent form slightly reduces their chance, but they remain overwhelming favorites. Charlton's away form and defensive record make a shock result unlikely, but the FA Cup always holds surprises.
