Charlton Athletic form and stats
3-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Charlton Athletic so far this season. Charlton are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
Charlton enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Ipswich Town's place. The match ended 2-0 with Albie Morgan and Omar Bogle scoring. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Burton Albion (2-4).
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 Athletic have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won four, drawn zero and lost five.
There will be little rest for Charlton after this match as they are travelling to Shrewsbury Town for a League One game in only three days.
Charlton are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. 5 goals have been conceded.
Milton Keynes Dons form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Milton Keynes Dons so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose).
Two travels in a row for Milton, whose manager R. Martin could celebrate last time after the FA Cup win against Barnet. A draw for Milton Keynes Dons before that, at their own venue hosting Shrewsbury Town (2-2).
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager R. Martin when C. Jerome scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 67th minute.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Milton playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were two Milton Keynes Dons wins, two draws and nine defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Accrington Stanley.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Milton as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. 10 goals have been conceded by Milton in these games.
