Charlton Ath. play host to Blackpool at The Valley on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 10 of the 25 previous games, with the Addicks winning just 9.
The last time the two teams met at Charlton Ath. was back in January 2002, over five years ago, the Addicks carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides
Charlton Athletic's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Addicks have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Charlton Ath. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Addicks will at least gain a draw. Score draw
