FA Cup Betting Preview: Charlton vs Chelsea

Championship team Charlton host Premier League heavyweights Chelsea at The Valley, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Saturday 10 January.

We’re sweet on the chances of Charlton when playing Liam Rosenior's Chelsea, especially as you can back the Addicks at +1.25 at odds of -102. Taking this Asian Handicap bet means we can split our stake between +1 and +1.5.

Charlton Athletic played out a 2-2 draw when last in action. This was on the road at Ewood Park against Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. Nathan Jones' men recorded 41% possession and had four shots on target, with Charlie Kelman scoring both goals.

Liam Rosenior is set to take charge of Chelsea for the first time following the sacking of head coach Enzo Maresca.
