4-4-2 against a 4-2-3-1 sets up an interesting midfield battle as West Ham open their Championship campaign at home. <strong>Jarrod Bowen<\/strong> operating in a wider role will be a constant threat,

With new attackers potentially debuting, goals look likely. <strong>Over 2.5 goals<\/strong> at 1.63 carries appeal, supported by West Ham averaging 2.0 goals conceded in their sole Championship outing.<\/p>\n\n<\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details mux-faq-item is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>When and where is West Ham United vs Charlton Athletic played?<\/summary>\n\n<p>The match kicks off on <strong>Saturday, 22 August 2026 at 15:00 BST<\/strong> (14:00 UTC) at the <strong>London Stadium<\/strong> in Stratford, east London, where a sold-out crowd of 62,500 is expected.<\/p>\n\n<\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details mux-faq-item is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can Charlton Athletic pull off an upset against West Ham United?<\/summary>\n\n<p>Charlton are genuine outsiders at <a class=\"mux-odd mux-odd--link\" href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/int-en\/go-1xbet-prono-int-en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-m=\"x_west-ham-united_charlton-athletic_19729144\" data-b=\"1xbet.com\" data-t=\"away\">8.40<\/a>, yet their form is credible: back-to-back wins, a sharper defensive record of just 1.0 goals conceded, and 4.0 shots on target last match. West Ham's midfield, weakened by the absence of Tom&aacute;&scaron; Sou&#269;ek, is vulnerable. An upset is unlikely but far from impossible.<\/p>\n\n<\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details mux-faq-item is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Which alternative market offers the best value?<\/summary>\n\n<p>With no Over\/Under 2.5 line currently priced, <strong>Both Teams to Score<\/strong> at <a class=\"mux-odd mux-odd--link\" href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/int-en\/go-1xbet-prono-int-en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-m=\"x_west-ham-united_charlton-athletic_19729144\" data-b=\"1xbet.com\" data-t=\"btts_yes\">1.94<\/a> stands out as the value play.
