Charlton Athletic desperately need points on Saturday, Dec 5 at 4:00 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Charlton Athletic come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Birmingham City, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Charlton Athletic and Birmingham City have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Charlton Athletic won 1–0.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Charlton Athletic a slight edge, but Birmingham City are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
