Charlton Athletic's recent form is considerably weaker. They've struggled, recording one win, one draw, and three losses in their last five matches. Their away form has been particularly poor, conceding a significant number of goals. They also have several key players out injured, which further weakens their chances in this match.

The injury data further impacts the prediction, and with more key injuries for Charlton, this adds confidence in the predicted result. Considering all the factors: Norwich's better recent form, especially at home, Charlton's poor away form, the injury situation, and the odds, a home win with over 2.5 goals is the most probable outcome. Therefore, the prediction is a win for Norwich City, with the total goals in the match being over 2.5.
