Preview: Charlton Athletic vs. Bolton Wanderers - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Saturday's League One clash between Charlton Athletic and Bolton Wanderers, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Charlton Athletic will look to claim a fourth consecutive League One victory when they welcome Bolton Wanderers to The Valley on Saturday.

The visitors are also in impressive form after losing only one of their last 10 matches in all competitions.


Match preview

After beginning his tenure with one point from his opening two games, Dean Holden has now overseen three straight league victories.

In their most recent outing, the Addicks secured a 2-0 victory over playoff hopefuls Barnsley thanks to goals from Tyreece Campbell and Jesuran Rak-Sakyi.

Charlton ended 2022 with a three-point gap to the relegation zone, but their recent winning run has helped extend that cushion to 10 points ahead of the weekend's round of fixtures.

The Addicks have not been in action since the win over Barnsley nearly two weeks ago after their scheduled meeting with Peterborough last Saturday was postponed due to a frozen pitch, ensuring that the Addicks will be well-rested for Saturday's encounter.

Having scored at least two goals in their last three games, Charlton will believe that they have the firepower to record a fourth consecutive league win

After a 2-1 defeat to Derby County ended an eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions, Bolton returned to winning ways against Forest Green Rovers in midweek.

Dion Charles gave Bolton an early lead, before the forward was mistakenly sent off instead of his teammate Elias Kachunga, who appeared to throw a punch at Forest Green defender Brandon Cooper during an off-the-ball incident in the first half.

Despite being a man light, the Trotters held firm to claim a narrow 1-0 victory that extends their unbeaten home run to nine competitive games.

Ian Evatt's side head into the weekend in fifth position, and they will be keen to continue their playoff push at the weekend when they face a Charlton side who they have beaten in their last three meetings.

As they attempt to continue their impressive recent head-to-head record, Bolton can call upon a resolute backline that has conceded just 22 goals from their 28 games - only Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday have let in fewer this season.

Team News

Charlton will be without the services of Joe Wollacott, Mandela Egbo and Todd Kane due to injury issues.

There are also doubts over the availability of Steven Sessegnon and Chuks Aneke, who have been struggling with knee and hamstring problems.

Following his recent arrival from Ipswich Town on a loan deal, Matt Penney could be given his Charlton debut on Saturday.

As for Bolton, the Football Association are expected to overturn Dion Charles's three-match ban, after the forward was mistakenly sent-off, with Kachunga expected to be handed the suspension instead.

After dropping down to the bench in midweek, Will Aimson may be brought back into the side to feature alongside Gethin Jones and Eoin Toal in the back three.

Dan N'Lundulu missed the win over Forest Green due to a knock, but he could return to the forward line for Saturday's contest.

Charlton Athletic possible starting lineup:
Maynard-Brewer; Clare, Inniss, Ness, Penney; Fraser, Dobson, Payne; Campbell, Rak-Sakyi, Leaburn

Bolton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Trafford; Jones, Aimson, Toal; Bradley, Morley, Dempsey, Williams; Shoretire; N'Lundulu, Charles


SM words green background

We say: Charlton Athletic 1-1 Bolton Wanderers

Bolton have won only one of their last four away games, and we think that they will be held to a draw by a Charlton side who are unbeaten in four home matches in all competitions.
