Prediction: Coventry City wins
Our prediction for the Charlton Athletic vs. Coventry City Championship match is: Coventry City wins.
The Addicks have suffered with seven defeats in their last nine league games, and while Coventry City's form isn't the best at present, they are still picking up wins and points, while other teams around them are also dropping points. That bodes well in a match against a team Coventry beat comfortably just a few weeks ago and who are struggling. As such, backing a Coventry win here makes sense.
