History of City at Charlton

Of City's 25 away games with Charlton, the Blues have won 6, with Charlton winnings 11.

The most recent encounter was in April, a 2-2 draw which was Stuart Pearce's second game in charge.

A late equaliser from defender Chris Perry denied City the three points, but the draw was the start of a 13-game unbeaten run, which included the first 5 games of this season.

Form guides

Both sides were in the top 3 after 5 games, but Charlton have dropped to 11th with 19 points from 13 games after losing their last 4 league games. To make matters worse, the Addicks were beating Blackburn 2-0 in the League Cup on Wednesday with 15 minutes left but managed to lose 3-2 in the 90.

City, meanwhile, are 8th on 21 points after taking just 1 from the last 9 available, in which we've scored just once.

Charlton have earned just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last 6 at home, scoring 9 goals and leaking 12 at the other end.

City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last 6. Only 5 goals have been registered, with 7 conceded.

FootyMad's prediction ...

City have struggled to score recently, let alone win, but Charlton's slump has been even worse. We managed wins at Birmingham and Sunderland earlier in the season, and I think we can recapture our winning ways on the road at the Valley... Away win
