Struggling Burton Albion will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Charlton Athletic in the upcoming league round. It’s 24th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It's no vacation for neither Burton nor Charlton Athletic as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Burton Albion form and stats
Burton Albion's struggle is real here at Pirelli Stadium with only 4 points collected from 6 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-4. All in all it has been a very rough period for Burton who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Accrington Stanley, 66 days ago. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Burton, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The Burton Albion crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-3 to Northampton Town here at Pirelli Stadium in a League One match. Prior to that, an away loss at Hull City.
Burton has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Burton with 12 goals conceded in these matches.
Charlton Athletic form and stats
Charlton Athletic's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Charlton Athletic, who have the fewest conceded goals (8) in League One, collect 13 points from their 6 away matches in the League One. 4 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat).
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Gillingham (placed 15th) in their previous outing. The League One match ended in a draw 1-1. That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Leyton Orient in the EFL Trophy.
The draw against Gillingham came from a losing position. The Charlton manager L. Bowyer brought on Chuks Aneke as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Charlton manager L. Bowyer as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Ipswich Town.
Charlton have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. The Charlton defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (3 goals in 6 games).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Burton, zero draws and two wins for Charlton Athletic. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: zero games.Top Goalscorers
