◆ CheckLive verdict
Clear favorite — Cheltenham Town
CheckLive's read gives Cheltenham a narrow 61% lean, yet their form warns against blind trust — four defeats in five. Charlton won the last meeting 1-3 and travel with a steadier record. Cup rotation could make this closer than the percentages suggest.

Who will win between Cheltenham and Charlton?
CheckLive's read leans Cheltenham with a narrow 61% edge, but their four defeats in five make confidence limited. Charlton won the last meeting 1-3 in League One; this looks closer than the favourite label suggests.
Are Cheltenham favourites despite poor form?
The edge belongs to Cheltenham on CheckLive's read, yet recent results point elsewhere. They lost four of five, while Charlton drew two of their last three away trips. Cup line-ups will decide how much home advantage matters.
Will both teams score at Whaddon Road?
Both sides scored in four of the last five meetings, and Cheltenham's recent games have been open defensively. A 2.8-goal average across their six encounters suggests goals are likely, though cup rotations can lower output.
