Blackburn Rovers on top: we expect them to avoid defeat and do most of the shooting.
Blackburn Rovers are favourites on our numbers: 47% to win, against 26% for Charlton Athletic and 28% for a draw. If you want one score, our predicted score is Blackburn Rovers 1–0 Charlton Athletic, the most likely Blackburn Rovers win (12%). We expect 2.5 goals in total: 1.5 for Blackburn Rovers and 1.0 for Charlton Athletic. Both teams scoring is 50% and three or more goals comes in at 46%.
Of their last five meetings on our records, Blackburn Rovers have won one, Charlton Athletic three, and one was drawn. When they last met, it finished Blackburn Rovers 2–2 Charlton Athletic, in Jan 2026. In their last six games Blackburn Rovers have three wins, no draws and three defeats, while Charlton Athletic have one win, one draw and four defeats. Both won their most recent match.
On shots, our forecast is 17.3 for Blackburn Rovers and 10.2 for Charlton Athletic, with 5.0 and 3.2 on target, and corners at 6.7 to 3.8. So we expect Blackburn Rovers to do more of the shooting. For Bawler's pick we have gone with Blackburn Rovers or Draw, Blackburn Rovers Over 12.5 Shots, Blackburn Rovers Over 2.5 Shots on Target and Blackburn Rovers Over 3.5 Corners. The chance all four land is 48% on our numbers, so the fair price is 11/10, or 2.10.
