Spurs vs Charlton prediction

Spurs don’t have much to shout about at the moment so this game is kind of crucial to get something out of the players needing a confidence boost.

Their first game against Brentford, another London derby is quickly followed by another on Wednesday night against Championship side Charlton.

Spurs could change the lineup for a fresh squad to face Charlton, as they are also faced with a litany of injuries.

Regardless, the second choice players mixed with a couple of regular starters should be too strong for Charlton, but is there much value in betting on them to win at such short odds? Probably not, so you’ve got to hope and bet on another cupset and another tough night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the fans.

Tottenham vs Charlton betting tips

Corners, cards and fouls

While a result prediction is a tricky one in any kind of League Cup clash between a Premier League side and Championship club, corners, cards and fouls often yield bigger returns when combined into a bet builder.

Charlton won’t get many corners if they go by their history of yielding a low amount when playing away against superior opposition.

Charlton are averaging 11.5 fouls per match and will likely see much more coming up against a Premier League side.

Players to back

Tottenham will pose a threat up top no matter what and there’s a case to be made that both teams can score, so doubling up on goalscorer bets would make sense to boost those odds up.

Richarlison, Dominic Solanke, Mathys Tel, Luca Williams-Barnett, Dane Scarlett, and Mikey Moore are the favourites to score for Spurs – signalling a strong potential of Scarlett starting ahead of others.

He’s made just a few appearances for the club, just a handful across the last three Premier League seasons and the odd cameo in the Champions League and Europa League.

The 22-year-old scored once in the Europa League in two appearances in the 2024/25 season and could be utilised here against a Championship side.

Lloyd Jones and Tyreece Campbell have both scored in their first two Championship games that also both finished 2-1 against Derby and West Ham.

Campbell also scored in their first round League Cup game where they beat Cheltenham 3-1, so he’s a clear choice to get an unprecedented four goals in four appearances to kick off this campaign with a bang.
