Charlton Athletic desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 31 at 4:00 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Middlesbrough come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Charlton Athletic travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Middlesbrough here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Charlton Athletic, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Charlton Athletic won 1–0.

Verdict: Middlesbrough look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Charlton Athletic will make it uncomfortable. Middlesbrough to win.
