History of the Charlton Athletic v Burnley fixture

Charlton Ath. prepare to entertain Burnley at The Valley on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Addicks are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 4 of the 25 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Valley was less than a year ago, in December 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Charlton Athletic's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Addicks have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Burnley however, is much more impressive, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Clarets, and 4 goals against.

Charlton Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 12 matches. Burnley's total of 19 points from their 12 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Addicks at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Clarets come away with an easy victory. Away win
