Charlton Athletic form and stats
Charlton Athletic are steadily winning League One games and points here at The Valley. 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats is the summary from 8 games.
No payout for Charlton in their previous match, an away game at Lincoln City that ended in defeat 1-3. Before that defeat this club had gone seven consecutive league rounds without a defeat. Brewer had a busy but productive day in the Lincoln City match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Jones was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.35 out of 10. The defender Jones won 8 of 9 duels.
Ahead of that match, Charlton Athletic won a home game hosting Reading (4-0).This is expected to be a close game, with Charlton Athletic perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Charlton Athletic as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Charlton has won 6 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.
Take note: 9 of the most recent 11 league games from this club have had goals from both sides.

Two travels in a row for Bolton Wanderers, whose coach Evatt could celebrate last time after the win against Wycombe Wanderers. A crazy, crazy match with masses of goals last time out for Wanderers, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as exciting?
