Charlton Athletic v Ipswich Town: play-off push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Charlton Athletic host Ipswich Town in the Championship at The Valley on Wednesday, 22 April 2026, with the visitors looking to strengthen their play-off position and the hosts aiming to stay clear of the bottom three.

Charlton Athletic beat Ipswich Town 3-0 away in October, but come into this meeting 20th, while the visitors sit third in the table.

The hosts are winless in five league games. The Tractor Boys have suffered just one defeat in their last five, including a 2-0 win at Norwich City and a 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough.

Josh Edwards and Kayne Ramsay are listed as injured for Charlton Athletic. For the Tractor Boys, Ashley Young, David Button, Conor Townsend and Wesley Burns are sidelined.

The Tractor Boys have scored 73 league goals and average 56% possession with 81.34% passing accuracy, so they could look to dictate the ball. Charlton Athletic average 43% possession and have delivered 539 open play crosses at 21.89% accuracy, which may be a route to goal. For the visitors, Jack Clarke has 15 league goals, with George Hirst, Anis Mehmeti and Jaden Philogene on 10, while Marcelino Núñez has eight assists.

A win would move the Tractor Boys to 79 points and could push them into the top two. Three points would take Charlton Athletic to 53 and may pull them further clear of the relegation places.
