Where to watch: Southampton Women v Charlton Athletic Women kicks off today at 14:00 UK time in the Women’s Championship. Football fans from across the country and around the world can catch every moment of this pivotal contest.
Match Overview
Southampton Women arrive at St. Mary’s Stadium buoyed by a series of strong performances in the Women’s Championship. Led by skipper Maya Le Tissier, the Saints have carved out a reputation for solid defensive organisation and swift counter-attacks. Le Tissier’s distribution from the back and Maddie Weir’s goalscoring touch have been central to Southampton’s push for a top-half finish.
Charlton Athletic Women, meanwhile, sit just above the drop zone and will be desperate for points to climb the table. Manager Scott Parkinson has often turned to forward Hayley Ladd to provide that cutting edge, and midfielder Orlando Sa appears to have recovered in time to influence proceedings. With both sides chasing momentum, this fixture carries added stakes in the battle for Championship survival and European qualification dreams.

Prediction
Both teams have shown resilience this term, but Southampton’s home form and attacking flair should prove decisive. Expect the Saints to control possession and create the better chances, with Maddie Weir and Maya Le Tissier combining to break down Charlton’s defence. A 2-1 victory for Southampton Women appears the most likely outcome.
That said, Charlton’s spirit cannot be underestimated. If Hayley Ladd finds space in behind early on, she could catch Southampton off guard. Still, the depth in Southampton’s squad and the advantage of a vocal home crowd tip the balance in favour of a narrow home win in what promises to be an entertaining encounter.
