Charlton Athletic vs Chelsea Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Chelsea to win
- Odds: -251 (Tonybet)
Though Chelsea sacked coach Enzo Maresca last week, they’re still expected to win this encounter against Charlton Athletic. The Addicks have only won one game in their last five, while the two teams haven’t faced each other since the 2006/2007 season.
The gap in individual quality will make it an uneven match, even as the Blues are entering another managerial crisis.
Charlton Athletic vs Chelsea Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Cole Palmer to score
- Odds: +131 (Tonybet)
Since his return from injury, Cole Palmer has struggled to score as often as he used to. The match will allow him to play without pressure, while he’s expected to lead the forward line as the central playmaker. Palmer didn’t find the net against Manchester City, but he scored against Bournemouth.

This match is a banker. Chelsea can call upon international stars like Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernández, and Estevao. Charlton, in the meantime, are on the edge of the relegation zone in the Championship.
For newly appointed Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior, this fixture presents an opportunity to start his tenure with a bang, and he’s expected to field all the stars at his disposal.
The FA Cup is unlikely to be a priority for Charlton, which could open the door for Chelsea to claim a trophy this season. Cole Palmer will be key in leading the team as one of the most respected players of the squad.

Charlton Athletic Team News
Last Sunday, Charlton Athletic were 2-0 up by the 34th minute against Blackburn Rovers but ultimately settled for a 2-2 draw. Despite holding a two-goal advantage, the Addicks rarely created chances and converted a penalty through Kelman, who had already scored the opening goal.
Clean sheets have been hard to come by for Charlton, with their most recent one dating back to December 20, when they defeated Oxford 1-0.

The team have only won twice since early November, which explains why they sit 19th in the Championship, only five points clear of the relegation zone. Their struggles largely stem from a lack of reliable scorers, with individual inconsistency often dictating the course of their games.
Kayne Ramsay, Matt Godden, Onel Hernández, and Reece Burke will be sidelined due to injuries.
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea have slipped out of the Premier League’s top four and remain winless in their last three fixtures. Yet this isn’t the biggest news, as the Blues sacked coach Enzo Maresca on January 1 following internal disputes. Liam Rosenior has been appointed as the club’s new head coach, arriving from Strasbourg FC.
The Blues drew with Manchester City last week thanks to a last-minute equaliser from Enzo Fernández. Although Chelsea conceded possession, they took advantage of injuries to find the net.

In Maresca’s last match, the Blues were held to a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, with all four goals coming in the first half. With both sides being out of form, the two teams took advantage of each other’s individual mistakes.
The second half proved to be calmer, with Chelsea dominating possession but only rarely pulling the trigger.
Romeo Lavia, Dario Essugo, and Levi Colwill are sidelined with injuries. Marc Cucurella is recovering from injury and will undergo medical tests. Mykhaylo Mudryk will serve his suspension.
