Bitesize Prediction: Ipswich Town vs Charlton Athletic – 21/10/25

Competition: Championship

Market: Ipswich Town win

Odds: 3/5 @ Pribet

Seeking an immediate Championship response on Tuesday night and desperate to make up some ground in the play-off chase, Ipswich will welcome Charlton to Portman Road.

Starting with the hosts, marking their return from October’s international break with a 2-1 loss away at Middlesbrough over the weekend, Ipswich know the importance of claiming an immediate response here. Although the Blues might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with their sights firmly set on securing an immediate Premier League return, it is fair to say that Kieran McKenna’s men have failed to find any kind of stability. Getting the midweek fixtures underway with just their goal difference keeping them in the top-half of the Championship standings, the one-time Manchester United coach has seen his squad muster consecutive wins on just a single occasion so far this season. However, heading into October’s fortnight interval with a routine 3-1 victory at home against Norwich, Ipswich will take plenty of solace from their extended success at Portman Road. Desperate to make up some ground in the play-off chase, Tuesday’s hosts have won all of their previous three consecutive Championship showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 10-2.

As for the visitors, although Charlton might have only made their Championship return this season, Nathan Jones’ men have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across England’s second-tier. Last seen marking their return from October’s international break with a 2-1 victory at home against relegation scrappers Sheffield Wednesday, the former Southampton boss should find the mood in his camp at a real high. Battling it out in the top-half of the Championship standings, they also travel to Portman Road on Tuesday night sat within touching distance of breaking into the play-off places. Suffering just a single defeat from their previous six appearances against second-tier opposition, Charlton should be relishing a heavyweight trip to Portman Road. However, watching their EFL Cup adventure come to a shock end of August 26th as they slumped to a 3-1 defeat against League Two outfit Cambridge United, it should be highlighted that Tuesday’s guests have mustered just a single victory on their travels so far this season.
