Charlton vs Birminngham Match Preview

Charlton's performance was incredible once again, this time vs Reading on the road (2-0 win), even though they were considered as the underdogs in that one. After that three-pointer, they reached the 2nd place of the table, having 14 points in 6 rounds. They are two points below first-placed Swansea and their total record is 4 wins and 2 draws. Defender Page is long-term injured so he is not expected to perform tonight, as well as defender Oshilaja.

Birmingham registered a 2-1 home win over Stoke just before the International break. Although their opponent opened the scoreline after about 60 minutes played, in a 20-minute spell they reverted the situation, keeping the three-pointer till the end. After this outcome, they have 10 point, sitting in the first half of the table with a 3-1-2 total record. Midfielders Maghoma, Montero and Kieftenbeld, as well as defenders Keita and Grounds, are not available tonight.

Charlton are solid from the start of this season and their players are on a high flying mood. On the other hand, Birmingham were always average in games on the road, so I expect them to have a hard time in the home of one of the strongest teams of Championship so far. I expect that Charlton will secure another home win, possibly even easier than the offered odds suggest. Home win.
