Brighton vs Charlton Betting Tips

The Seagulls were 2-1 winners at home to Birmingham last time out and it was an important 3 points given Brighton had drawn 4 of their previous 5 matches and had slipped to 2nd in the table. However with other results going their way last weekend they returned to top spot and hold a 2 point advantage on Middlesbrough and Derby heading into this one.

After an awful run of form which saw them plummet down the table and take just 1 point from 9 Championship matches, Charlton looked to have rediscovered some form by picking up wins against Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham. However their bad habits returned on Saturday as they slumped to a crushing 3-0 home defeat against Ipswich to bring a sudden halt to the honeymoon period of interim boss Karel Fraeye.

Away to the league leaders it is hard to see them responding with anything but another defeat. Charlton have conceded 2 or more goals in 10 of their last 15 matches and 4 of their last 7 matches have ended in 3-0 defeats. It’s deeply worrying defensive form for the Addicks and their defence is sliced open with alarming ease at times.

Therefore promotion chasing Brighton are surely worth backing at 8/13 to score 2 or more goals in this match.

Brighton are yet to win by more than 1 goal all season though so it might not be a complete stroll in the park. It’s hard to see them not getting the better of Charlton over 90 minutes and given 4 of their last 6 home games have resulted in 2-1 victories, they look good value at 15/2 to win by that margin again here.
