Expected score: West Ham W 2-0 Charlton Athletic W
West Ham Women host Charlton Athletic Women in FA WSL Regular Season action at Chigwell Construction Stadium. The hosts arrive as strong favourites, sitting 11th in the table with 9 points from 9 games, while Charlton prop up the standings with zero points from an identical number of matches. This fixture pits a side capable of beating Liverpool against one still searching for their first win of the season.
Team form
West Ham W
West Ham's recent form tells a story of inconsistency. They hammered Liverpool 4-1 at home on 1 November, a statement victory that showed their attacking potential, yet sandwiched between heavy defeats to Manchester City (0-5 away) and Chelsea (0-3 at home). Over their last five matches, they have scored 5 goals but conceded 12, averaging 1.0 scored and 2.4 conceded per game. Their season average stands at 1.00 goals scored and 2.11 conceded. In their most recent outing against Manchester City, they managed just 2 shots on goal despite 45% possession, suggesting they struggle to convert opportunities against elite sides.
Charlton Athletic W
Charlton Athletic remain winless after nine games, a damning statistic that reflects their severe struggles this season. They have conceded 28 goals—an alarming 3.11 per game on average—while scoring only 5. Their last five outings have yielded just 4 goals while leaking 18, averaging 0.8 scored and 3.6 conceded. Most recently, they fell 2-3 to Crystal Palace away, a match in which they generated 2.03 expected goals from 6 shots on goal, indicating they create chances but lack the clinical finishing or defensive solidity to capitalise. Charlton's defensive fragility is the defining feature of their season.
Head-to-head
West Ham dominate the head-to-head record convincingly. In their last four meetings, West Ham have won all four: most recently 2-1 away on 28 October 2026, and before that 5-1 away in September 2025. Going back further, West Ham won 2-1 at home in October 2023 and 4-0 away in November 2020. This is a fixture West Ham have mastered.
Key factors
West Ham's superior league position and attacking quality—evidenced by their win over Liverpool—give them a clear edge. Charlton's winless record and leaky defence (3.11 goals conceded per game) represent a chasm in class. Rita Guarino's 4-4-2 formation offers attacking balance, while Karen Hills' 3-4-2-1 for Charlton attempts to provide defensive cover but has failed to stem the tide of goals. The bookmakers price West Ham at 1.36, reflecting their status as heavy favourites. West Ham's recent history against Charlton—four straight victories—compounds the visitors' task.
Prediction
West Ham should control this match. Their attacking prowess, demonstrated against Liverpool, faces a Charlton side that has conceded 28 goals in 9 games. While West Ham's own defence remains porous, their superior attacking output should prove decisive. Charlton's inability to secure a single point all season, combined with their defensive liabilities, makes them vulnerable to a team capable of scoring multiple goals. The head-to-head record reinforces West Ham's dominance in this fixture.
West Ham are clear favourites to win. Their attacking quality and Charlton's defensive deficiencies point to a comfortable home victory. The bookmakers' odds of 1.36 reflect a strong favourite, and the underlying form supports it. Expect West Ham to dominate possession and create the clearer chances, with Charlton unlikely to trouble them sufficiently.
