Charlton Athletic form and stats

9 victories, 4 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Charlton Athletic have to build on here at The Valley in the League One. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Charlton after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray not having conceded a league goal in 328 minutes.

Happy days for Charlton Athletic in their previous game, a fixture away at Doncaster Rovers (placed 23rd) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Clare, defender, was given a rating of 7.94/10 in that game, top of the team. Clare hit one key pass and won 7 of 10 duels.

Ahead of that match, Charlton Athletic won a home game hosting Burton Albion (2-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Charlton Athletic have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 18 games) they have won ten times, drawn three and lost five.

There will be little rest for Charlton after this match as they are travelling to AFC Wimbledon for a League One game in only three days.

The Charlton Athletic fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 27 in 20 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. 23 goals have been conceded.

Lincoln City form and stats

The visitors are W6-D4-L9 on the road this term. That's in the League One. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Lincoln City have lost on their last two travels.

Lincoln are looking to quickly end their 189 minutes long goal drought in the League One.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Lincoln City, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Shrewsbury Town (placed 15th). Maguire, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.4. Maguire had 46 successful passes (of 52 total).

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Sunderland.

Lincoln City are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, three draws and five defeats. From a total of eight matches.

The schedule is very tough for Lincoln City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Fleetwood Town is waiting in only three days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Lincoln have scored 24 goals in 19 league games away. 27 goals have been conceded by Lincoln City in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
