Charlton vs Preston Betting Tips

Charlton’s slide down the table has been dramatic after a bright opening to the season. The pressure is mounting on manager Guy Luzon after a run of 8 games without a win. Worse still 6 of those fixtures have ended in defeat including a 1-0 loss to Reading at the weekend.

They are still above Preston in the table though and the Lancashire outfit are also without a win in 8 games and are struggling to adapt to the demands of life at this level. Therefore this a crunch game for both clubs and one in which they’ll fancy their chances of finally picking up 3 points.

Although they have both been struggling, they have still been scoring goals. Both teams have scored in 6 of Preston’s last 7 matches and they have been a bit more positive than they were in the opening weeks. There have been goals at both ends in 8 of the last 10 matches involving Charlton too and with both sides struggling for clean sheets, there looks to be decent value in backing this one to finish with both teams on the scoresheet at 5/6.

The problem is that both teams have forgotten how to win football matches and might lack the conviction to see this one all the way through. Charlton have improved slightly in their last two performances fighting back to draw against Fulham last time out at the Valley and narrowly losing to a strong Reading side at the weekend.

Preston have been competitive in every game they’ve played but a solitary league win at MK Dons over 2 months ago suggests they might not have enough to win here, even against an equally out-of-form Charlton.

Therefore a draw seems the most likely outcome and you can back it to finish 1-1 at odds of 5/1.
