Wolves host Charlton in the Championship. Wolves have had the better start to the season overall, while Charlton have found results harder to come by, especially on the road.
Charlton have conceded goals regularly away from home, and Wolves have generally been more productive in front of their own fans than Charlton have been able to manage elsewhere. How that balance plays out here is still open.

Wolves' home edge against Charlton's away struggles
Across their last 20 matches in all competitions, Wolves have won 10, drawn 5 and lost 5, scoring 33 and conceding 21. That sample includes cup games and pre-season friendlies alongside league fixtures, so it's a broad picture rather than a pure league trend, but it points to a side that's generally been productive.
Wolves: 20 completed matches; Charlton: 20 completed matches.

Charlton's away sample over the same length of time shows 7 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses, with 20 scored and 30 conceded. That's a leakier record on the road, and it suggests defensive solidity away from home has been a recurring issue for them this year.
Wolves have looked more reliable in matches generally than Charlton have away from home.
Comparative Team Statistics: Wolves vs Charlton

History here is a long way back
The recorded meetings between these two go back to between 2012 and 2015, with results split fairly evenly including a couple of draws. None of that tells us much about either squad as they are now.
| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Championship | Charlton | Wolves | 28.12.2015 | 0-2 |
| Championship | Wolves | Charlton | 29.08.2015 | 2-1 |
| Championship | Wolves | Charlton | 24.01.2015 | 0-0 |
| Championship | Charlton | Wolves | 16.09.2014 | 1-1 |
| Championship | Charlton | Wolves | 20.04.2013 | 2-1 |
| Championship | Wolves | Charlton | 27.10.2012 | 1-1 |
Both clubs have changed a great deal since those games, so this head-to-head record is really just a curiosity rather than useful form guide.
Where they sit in the table
Wolves are 8th with 17 points from 10 games, while Charlton are 17th with 14 points from 11 games. That's a meaningful early-season gap in both points and games played.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Southampton | 11 | 6 | 3 | 2 | 21/10 | 17 |
| 8 | Wolves | 10 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 18/15 | 17 |
| 9 | QPR | 11 | 4 | 5 | 2 | 15/12 | 17 |
| 16 | Bristol City | 11 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 12/15 | 14 |
| 17 | Charlton | 11 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 10/15 | 14 |
| 18 | Lincoln | 11 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 9/19 | 12 |
This is only a snapshot of these two teams rather than the full table, so it shouldn't be read as proof of where either side ranks against everyone else in the division.

Players to keep an eye on
Fer López has been Wolves' standout attacking contributor recently, with 4 goals and 2 assists in his last 7 matches, so he looks like a central figure in how they create chances.
For Charlton, D. McNamara has picked up the most cards in the squad recently, 3 yellows and no reds in 7 matches. That's a disciplinary note rather than any indication he'll miss this fixture.

There's a reasonable case that Wolves are the more settled side right now, sitting higher in the table with a better scoring record at home than Charlton have shown away. But the gap isn't big enough, nor the evidence clean enough, to back a specific outcome with confidence.
With no quoted market to weigh up and the away form showing more balance than collapse, this one's best watched rather than backed.
