AI match recap

Middlesbrough bring the stronger form, the home setting and a clear attacking rhythm into a match against a Charlton side searching for a stabilising result. The league leaders should have most of the ball and will look to create repeated wide overloads, especially through Brittain and Cozier-Duberry. Charlton's best chance is to make the game fragmented, compete for second balls and turn quick recoveries into channel attacks. Team news around Charlton's returning players is the main variable before the line-ups are released.
