The hosts came alive after thrashing Watford: Burnley vs Charlton prediction
The Championship's tenth-round clash between Burnley and Charlton will take place on October 13, 2026, at Turf Moor. The hosts secured their first league victory only in the previous round, while the visitors sit 12th and head into the meeting on a six-match winless run.
Burnley: first win should boost confidence
Nicky Hayen's side had been unable to win for a long time after being relegated from the Premier League, but everything finally clicked on Saturday. Burnley thrashed Watford 4-0, scoring three times in the first half through Jacob Bruun Larsen, Zeki Amdouni and Reo Hatate, before Marcus Edwards added a fourth late on.
The victory was important not only because of the scoreline but also because of the performance: the team kept its first clean sheet since March and, for the first time in a long while, looked genuinely confident in attack. Four points from the last two rounds point to the first signs of an upturn in form.
Charlton: too many draws and poor away form
Nathan Jones' side have collected 13 points from nine rounds and remain in a tightly packed mid-table group. In their last match, Charlton drew 1-1 with Bristol City, despite taking the lead through Karlan Grant.
The visitors' main problem is their away form. Since beating West Ham in August, the team have picked up just one point on the road, while their defence has looked significantly weaker away from home. At the same time, their current winless run has stretched to six matches.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Burnley secured their first win in this season's Championship in the previous round.
- Charlton have gone six matches without a win.
- Since their August victory over West Ham, the visitors have collected just one point away from home.
A draw looks the most logical outcome: Burnley vs Charlton prediction
The thrashing of Watford should give the hosts a confidence boost, but one emphatic victory is not enough to say that they have fully overcome their crisis. Burnley remain inconsistent and are only beginning to find their balance.
Charlton have also failed to impress with their results, but they regularly grind out draws and could approach this away game cautiously. Given the overall inconsistency and the likely cagey nature of the encounter, sharing the points looks like the most logical outcome.
