Charlton Athletic form and stats

Charlton Athletic have collected 12 points from their League One home games so far after 3-3-4.

It's back home for Charlton Athletic, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Gateshead away with the result 2-0. Jayden Stockley (2) found the net in that victory. The forward Jayden Stockley was named "man of the match" for Charlton Athletic with the rating of 8.83/10. Stockley scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Ahead of that match, Charlton won a home game hosting Aston Villa U21 (2-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Charlton 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 eleven games. Charlton Athletic has won three of these, drawn one and lost seven.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Cambridge United in only four days. This game is also played here at The Valley.

A decent goal production from Charlton Athletic in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 10 league matches. On the other hand, Charlton Athletic have conceded 14 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Ipswich Town form and stats

The visitors are W3-D1-L5 on the road this term. That's in the League One.

Ipswich's last game was the home draw against Barrow (0-0). Defender Aristote Nsiala was the best team player with a rating of 7.64. Nsiala won 9 of 11 duels.

A draw for Ipswich before that, at their own venue hosting Arsenal U21 (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) (2-2).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ipswich playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were five Ipswich Town wins, two draws and seven defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ipswich Town manager P. Cook as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Wigan Athletic.

Ipswich has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 15 goals from 9 games. Ipswich have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Charlton Athletic two wins, three draws and Ipswich Town five victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
