Overview.
Charlton Athletic take on Leeds United for the first time at The Valley since 2015, with the hosts itching for a positive result after Birmingham ended their impressive run of just one defeat in their prior 21 home league games. Furthermore, Charlton remain unbeaten in four of the previous five home H2Hs. However the ‘Addicks’ have registered back-to-back league defeats, and are currently goalless in 208 minutes of Championship football. Underdogs here, they will be eager to score first considering they have opened the scoring in 75% of their home league games, never losing when doing so.
Table-topping Leeds United are looking to bounce back after dropping points at home to Derby last time out (1-1), but do travel here having won all five competitive away games this term, scoring 2+ goals in each of those road trips. Their defence has done its duty too – registering a clean sheet in their last four away games. Marcelo Bielsa’s side have opened the scoring in seven of eight Championship matches this season and in 100% of their away league games. Likely to make their mark early, the visitors have been leading 1-0 at half-time in three of their four away league fixtures.
