Charlton vs Wycombe Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

There was nothing to split the two teams from the first leg; however, with Charlton Athletic’s record against Wycombe Wanderers, we are leaning towards a home victory in the second leg between the two teams.

Charlton Athletic are in excellent form coming into this game, with six victories from their last eight league games of the regular season, and the Addicks averaged at least two goals per game in five of those six victories. The home side’s record at the Valley places them as favourites for this fixture, as the Addicks are unbeaten in 2025, having only dropped points to Lincoln City in April.

Despite the draw in the first leg, Wycombe Wanderers are without a win in four matches, having entered the playoffs with three consecutive defeats, conceding eight goals in three games, including four against the hosts at Adams Park. The Chairboys have an unwanted record of three games without a win against the hosts.

Expect Charlton Athletic to assert home dominance here. The Addicks have a tremendous record at the Valley in 20205 as mentioned, and with over 2.5 goals landing in eight of the last 10 matches involving the hosts, we can see a comfortable victory for Nathan Jones’ side.

For the neutral, this game is designed to be an excellent encounter at the Valley, following the stalemate at Adams Park. Charlton Athletic had 51% possession, but the chances aside for each side were evenly split, with seven shots and one big chance created for both sides. Charlton Athletic’s top scorer, Matthew Godden, had the best chances for the Addicks during the game. However, the former Peterborough United man had his efforts thwarted by Will Norris in the Wycombe Wanderers goal. The game was ill-tempered, with Richard Kone perhaps lucky not to be dismissed for his poor challenge on Kayne Ramsey. Xavier Simons and Greg Docherty were both booked before half-time for a confrontation.

Charlton Athletic left their automatic promotion push late during the regular season, despite the Addicks making things difficult for the teams above. The home side finished in fifth place in League One, having won 25 matches, drawn 10 and lost 11. Nathan Jones’ side has accumulated 85 points this season, scoring 67 and conceding 43. The Addicks were thwarted in their attempt for automatic promotion, with a defeat at the hands of Wrexham away from home.

Wycombe Wanderers saw their automatic promotion dwindle in the last few weeks, with defeats to Stockport County (1-3), Leyton Orient (1-0) and most notably to Charlton Athletic (0-4). The Chairboys finished a place below the hosts in the regular season, having accumulated 84 points from 46 matches played.

The two league meetings both fell in Charlton Athletic’s favour, with the Addicks recording a 2-1 home victory at the Valley and beating the visitors 4-0 at Adams Park.
