Prediction: Charlton vs. Derby (19.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Charlton Athletic have won one of their last 11 matches against Derby in all competitions (W1 D3 L7), a 3-2 win in August 2014. Derby have lost just three of their last 23 regular league matches (W9 D11 L3) and are unbeaten in five Championship games (W2 D3 L0).

Despite the fact that Charlton have won just one of their last five league matches (W1, D1, L3), they remain by far and away the strongest of the promoted sides after earning at least six more points than at this stage of three of their last four second-tier campaigns. Notably, their only home league defeats this term have come by a single-goal margin. Charlton haven’t lost consecutive home league games since February 2017, when they lost to Oxford United and Bury in League One. Just one of Charlton’s six home league games so far has seen a goalless first half, and the ‘Addicks’ have not yet been behind at the break here (HT: W3, D3). Moreover, the hosts have struck first in five of their six home league matches to date, and in eight of their 11 overall (72.73%).

Though Derby are unbeaten in five league games (W2, D3), they have drawn a Championship-high of six games (54.55% of total). Much like Charlton at home, Derby’s away games often see a goal-fuelled first half, with both teams scoring by the break in three of their five, for 2.4 first-half goals per match on average. Derby won their last away league match against Charlton in April 2016 – they last won consecutive visits to the Addicks in January 1995. Derby have also scored at least twice in each of their last three league matches, and in both halves of two of the last three. Notably, no opposing host side has kept the ‘Rams’ scoreless since they suffered a 3-0 away defeat to Brentford (Aug 31). Derby have won none of their last 10 away league games in London (W0 D7 L3) since a 1-0 win over QPR in December 2016.
