Charlton Athletic form and stats

5 victories, 5 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Charlton Athletic have to build on here at The Valley in the League One.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Charlton Athletic, who played 1-1 against Shrewsbury Town. That match was also played at this venue (The Valley). Before that, Charlton had a home game versus Northampton Town which ended with a victory 2-1.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Charlton handle that role? We have found eight games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are four wins, two draws and two defeats.

The manager L. Bowyer will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to AFC Wimbledon in only four days.

The Charlton Athletic fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 27 goals in 17 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.

Bristol Rovers form and stats

Bristol Rovers, who have the fewest scored goals (13) away in League One, have only collected 14 points from their away games in the League One, after 3-5-9 (17 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Bristol are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Bristol played 0-0 against AFC Wimbledon in their previous match. That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Accrington Stanley.

Bristol are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and eight defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

The schedule is very tough for Bristol Rovers now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Plymouth Argyle is waiting in only four days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bristol Rovers as they have only managed to score 13 times from 17 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Bristol Rovers have conceded 28 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
