Charlton vs West Brom preview: Team news, lineups, prediction
West Brom are set to travel to Charlton on Tuesday as Ryan Mason aims to end the Baggies’ horrific winless streak.
A 0-0 draw against Sheffield Wednesday on the weekend has only upped the pressure, with the Black Country club now four points off the playoffs.
As a result, Mason is already facing sack calls at West Brom, as promotion continues to look more and more unlikely.
Now, with a tricky away day against Charlton coming up, West Brom News has provided everything you need to know about the fixture.
Preview
West Brom come into the tie on a three-match winless streak, which has seen them fall to 12th in the table.
In comparison, the hosts are in fine form, with their four-match unbeaten streak pushing them up to eighth, two points ahead of the Baggies with a better goal difference.
With Nathan Jones leading the side, he will be hoping to continue Charlton’s insane midweek record against West Brom to push them into the playoffs.

Prediction Charlton 1-1 West Brom
Unfortunately, given the contrasting form of the two sides, it is hard to see West Brom coming away with three points on Tuesday.
The Addicks will likely be up for the game and will be pushing for the win to take them into the playoffs.
However, West Brom still have plenty of quality in their squad and are more than capable of getting a result.
Therefore, a tight 1-1 draw is likely, an outcome that will not satisfy either side.
