Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Charlton Athletic in 9th and Blackpool in 14th place.
- Charlton Athletic have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Blackpool has the fewest matches over the total-line (8) in League One
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the League One. Thankfully the previous game, versus Burton Albion, was also a home game here at The Valley. The away team is better rested.
Charlton Athletic form and stats
4-4-6 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Charlton Athletic so far this season. With seven home League One games in a row without a win, the Charlton fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the AFC Wimbledon game long ago, can be stopped today.
The Charlton crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Burton Albion here at The Valley in a League One match. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Fleetwood Town the opponent.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Charlton have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn zero and lost seven.
Charlton are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at Wigan Athletic awaits in three days.
The Charlton fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 24 goals in 14 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 26 goals have been conceded.
Blackpool form and stats
5-3-7 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Blackpool in their League One matches away.
221 minutes! That's how long the Blackpool goalkeeper Christopher Maxwell and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Two travels in a row for Blackpool, whose manager N. Critchley could celebrate last time after the League One win against Portsmouth. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Rochdale.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Blackpool in our archives, and the results are: one win for Blackpool, four draws and six defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Crewe Alexandra in just three days.
