Crewe Alexandra have come here for an absorbing battle versus the home side Charlton Athletic. Get ready for the fixture with this thorough League One preview!

Crewe Alexandra could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Carabao Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Leeds United, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Crewe Alexandra.

Charlton Athletic form and stats

Charlton Athletic have less points than they have played home games in the League One so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point. Charlton has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager N. Adkins and the players.

The Charlton fans got no joy from their last match, a League One game also here at The Valley: A 0-2 defeat against Wigan Athletic (placed 9th). Midfield player George Dobson got a match rating of 7.65 in that game, the max score being 10. Dobson hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Heartbreak before that as Charlton lost 1-2 at Milton Keynes Dons's place.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Charlton Athletic matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, three draws and zero defeats (from three games).

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Charlton Athletic, as the EFL Trophy home game vs Crawley Town is only three days away.

Charlton Athletic has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Crewe Alexandra form and stats

It's not happening yet for Crewe Alexandra on their League One travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three has not been a lucky number for Alexandra as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Cheltenham Town match.

M. Mandron was the last player to score for the away team. Alexandra haven't scored a league goal in the last 332 minutes.

Alexandra play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Leeds United. Billy Sass-Davies was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.44. The defender Sass-Davies won 1 of 1 duels.

A loss against Accrington Stanley was the result prior to that, in a League One home game.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Alexandra playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.

The schedule is very tough for Alexandra now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A EFL Trophy game at Shrewsbury Town is waiting in only three days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Crewe Alexandra has managed 0 goals and let in 3 from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Charlton one win, one draw and Crewe Alexandra zero victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
