Charlton Athletic form and stats

4-4-7 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Charlton Athletic so far this season. Charlton are slowly digging their own grave here at The Valley with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the AFC Wimbledon match.

Charlton Athletic are confident in defense, having played 219 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Wigan Athletic.

A painful moment in the game against Oxford United was the missed penalty kick from Ronnie Schwartz in the 90th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost two.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Shrewsbury Town are coming to town in four days.

Charlton have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at The Valley with 24 goals in 15 league matches. Charlton have conceded 29 from these games.

Northampton Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Northampton Town's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 16 away games in the League One. Northampton Town only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 4 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Northampton Town have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Burton Albion game.

Before that, Northampton Town secured a home win against Plymouth Argyle with the score 2-0.

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

Northampton Town has another fixture away, a League One game, against Doncaster Rovers in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

The visiting Northampton have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 16 goals from 16 games. Northampton's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 29 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Northampton Town - Charlton Athletic 0-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Charlton won three games, one match ended with a draw and Northampton Town has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / two
