Charlton Athletic vs Portsmouth Prediction and Betting Tips | December 6th 2025

Charlton Athletic will host Portsmouth at the Valley on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. Both sides have struggled in recent weeks and will be desperate to return to winning ways and build momentum going into the second half of the season.

Charlton suffered a fourth consecutive league loss as they were outclassed in a 3-1 defeat away to league leaders Coventry City and have now fallen to 17th place in the Championship.

The Addicks sat in fifth place a few weeks ago, having lost only three of their opening 14 league games and will be keen to bounce back to top form and get a result on Saturday that could see them climb back into the top half of the pile.

Portsmouth are six points and five places behind Saturday's hosts, having only won four of their 18 league games this season and sit in the relegation zone going into the weekend. The visitors failed to convert any of their many chances in Sunday's 1-0 defeat at home against Bristol City, leaving head coach John Moushino desperate to turn things around in the coming weeks.

Charlton Athletic vs Portsmouth Prediction

The Addicks are slight favorites to get a result on Saturday thanks to their home advantage, but will need to be at their best to get all three points.

Pompey's sole away win this season came on the opening day when they beat Oxford United 1-0 at the Kassam Stadium, and they will need to put up a special performance on Saturday to replicate that result.
