Charlton Athletic vs Leicester City Prediction and Betting Tips | August 23rd 2025

Charlton Athletic and Leicester City lock horns on matchday three of the Championship on Saturday. The two sides are in opposite halves of the standings.

Nathan Jones' Charlton have made a successful return to the second tier, beating Watford 1-0 at home before drawing goalless at Bristol City a week later. The Addicks were dominated in possession but had more shots on target (2-1) than their opponents as a goalless stalemate ensued.

In between those two results, Jones' side - 10th in the Championship - saw off Stevenage 3-1 at home in their EFL Cup opener earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Marti Cifuentes' Leicester have stumbled on their return to the second tier after getting relegated from the Premier League last season. The 2023-24 Championship winners beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 at home before going down by the same margin at Preston North End last week.

That loss came days after a midweek shootout defeat at Huddersfield Town in their EFL Cup opener. The Foxes are 12th in the league after two games.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Charlton-Leicester Championship clash at The Valley:

Charlton Athletic vs Leicester City prediction

The two sides have made contrasting starts to life in the second tier, with Charlton going unbeaten, while Leicester have lost one of two outings.

Following a successful campaign last season, the Addicks are back in the Championship after winning the play-off final. In terms of head-to-head, Charlton enjoy a head-to-head advantage over the Foxes, having beaten them in their last three home meetings in the Championship.

The Foxes beat Charlton in their last second-tier meeting - more than a decade ago. So, despite the Addicks' rousing form, especially at home, Cifuentes' side might not return empty-handed from The Valley.
