Charlton Athletic form and stats

Last season, Charlton Athletic's league statistics were 20 wins, 14 draws and 12 losses, resulting in a 7th position in the League One. Over these 46 matches they scored 70 goals and conceded 56. Playing at home last season Charlton Athletic managed 8-7-8 (win-draw-lost) with 36 goals and 37 conceded.

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 have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won three, drawn zero and lost seven.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Carabao Cup game versus AFC Wimbledon in only three days. This game is also played here at The Valley.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Charlton Athletic friendly games in pre-season: Charlton Athletic played six friendlies, won 2, drew 2 and lost 2. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Charlton scored 9 goals and conceded 7 in these six games.

Sheffield Wednesday form and stats

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Sheffield Wednesday as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 12 victories from 46 games, relegation was a fact.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 16 similar matches played by Sheffield Wednesday in our archives, and the results are: six wins for Sheffield, three draws and seven defeats.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Sheffield have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 3 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats from six fixtures.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Charlton victories, three draws and four Sheffield Wednesday wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
