Charlton vs Lincoln Prediction

Form has been patchy for both

Charlton's recent record reads seven wins, six draws and seven defeats across their last twenty matches in all competitions, with 20 scored and 30 conceded. That's a lot of draws for a team that needs points, and it points to a side that's hard to beat but also struggling to find a cutting edge.

Charlton: 20 completed matches; Lincoln: 20 completed matches.

Lincoln have been far more up and down. Their sample shows eight wins and nine losses from twenty games, with 22 goals scored against 36 conceded. A 4-1 win over Burnley sits right next to a 0-6 battering by West Ham within the same few weeks, which tells its own story about consistency.

Charlton look the steadier of the two, even if steady hasn't meant winning much.

Comparative Team Statistics: Charlton vs Lincoln

A familiar fixture from League One

These two have met regularly over the past few seasons, mostly in League One between 2020 and 2025. The head-to-head has thrown up a good number of draws and tight scorelines, including two 0-0s and a couple of 1-1s and 2-2s.

That history is worth noting, but it comes from a different division and doesn't tell us much about how either side performs in the Championship right now.

Both clubs are deep in the table

Charlton sit 17th with 14 points from 11 games, built on three wins, five draws and three losses, scoring 10 and conceding 15. Lincoln are just below them in 18th on 12 points, with three wins, three draws and five losses, and a weaker goal difference having scored 9 and shipped 19.

Only two points separate the sides, and their goal totals suggest neither has been prolific this season.

Cards worth keeping an eye on

Lincoln's F. Draper has picked up four yellow cards in eight matches, and teammate C. McGrandles has three in the same span. Charlton's D. McNamara has three yellows from seven games.

Charlton:

Penalty cards:

D. McNamara x 1 x 3

Lincoln:

Penalty cards:

F. Draper x 4

C. McGrandles x 3

None of that points to suspensions, but it does suggest a reasonably combative edge from both midfields when these two meet.

How this one might play out

With Charlton drawing often and Lincoln conceding goals in bunches, this has the look of an unpredictable game rather than a one-sided one. Charlton's defensive solidity at home contrasts with Lincoln's habit of shipping heavy scorelines on their travels.

Equally, Lincoln have shown they can score goals when their attack clicks, so a cagey afternoon isn't guaranteed either.
