Ipswich Town vs Charlton Athletic Prediction and Betting Tips | October 21st 2025

Ipswich Town will host Charlton Athletic at the Portman Road Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts will be keen to put their last result behind them and return to winning ways this weekend in a bid to push higher up the league table.

Ipswich were disappointed to not pick up any points when they visited Middlesbrough on Friday as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Rob Edwards' men.

The Tractor Boys had been on a five-match unbeaten run prior to their game againt Boro, picking up three wins and two draws and will be focused on stringing a similar run of results in the coming weeks as they hope to gain immediate promotion back to the Premier League.

Charlton Athletic managed to get a solid 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday last time out to mark their fourth league win of the season and see them move into ninth place, just two points shy of the top six. The visitors have had an impressive start to life in the second tier of English football after a five-season absence from the division and will be looking to get one over Kieran McKenna’s side on Tuesday.
