Birmingham City vs Charlton Athletic Prediction and Betting Tips | December 13th 2025

Birmingham City will host Charlton Athletic at St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park on Saturday in the 21st round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. Both teams will be keen to take advantage of the other's poor recent form and return to winning ways.

Birmingham are having an impressive season for a newly promoted side, registering eight wins and four draws from 20 league matches played so far, but they have hit a rough patch recently, losing back-to-back league fixtures for the first time since September.

The Blues, who sit three points behind the promotion playoff spots, scored a 93rd-minute equalizer in their last outing against Queens Park Rangers but conceded again three minutes later, resulting in a 2-1 away loss.

Charlton Athletic, on the other hand, are on a much worse run of form, having lost each of their last five league fixtures, and will be desperate to turn things around soon or risk falling into the drop zone by mid-season.

The Addicks had lost only one of their previous 10 matches going into November, but have since failed to pick up a single point, most recently suffering a 2-1 defeat to Middlesbrough, leaving them with six wins from 19 matches in the English second tier this season.

Birmingham City vs Charlton Athletic Prediction

The Blues are comfortable favorites to get all three points this weekend and will only need to avoid complacency to get a result against a side in much worse form.

Charlton will need to be at their rarely seen best to avoid defeat when they visit Chris Davies’ side, and will need to make improvements to their poor offensive record to stand a chance of getting a result.

Prediction: Birmingham City 2-1 Charlton Athletic
