Charlton host QPR at The Valley on Wednesday evening in Championship Regular Season matchday 6, with kick-off at 19:00 UTC. Both sides sit in the top third of the 24-team table, and a points gap of zero between them makes this one of the more evenly matched fixtures of the midweek round.
Charlton occupy sixth place with ten points from five matches, recording three wins, one draw and one defeat. Their goals record stands at 6-7. QPR sit third, also on ten points from five matches, with three wins, one draw and one defeat, and a goals record of 7-4. The pair are separated by table position alone.
Charlton's last five results show three wins alongside one draw and one defeat, earning ten points across that run. Their most recent outing was a 4-0 defeat at Stoke City, though prior to that they drew 1-1 with West Brom and beat Preston 1-0 at home. QPR's recent form mirrors that points tally exactly — ten points from five matches — with their latest result a 0-1 home defeat to Middlesbrough. Before that, they won 2-1 against Cardiff and claimed a 2-1 victory at Blackburn.
The head-to-head record between these two sides adds further texture to the occasion. QPR won 3-1 when the sides met in August 2025, while the reverse fixture in February 2026 ended 0-0 at The Valley. Wednesday's match represents the third meeting in just over a year.
With both clubs level on points and occupying the top third of the Championship table after five matches, the result here will have a direct bearing on how the early standings look by the end of matchday 6.
