Charlton's record against Derby County is not that good. We have played them 55 times, including a FA Cup final defeat. They have won 29 encounters, we have won half that number (14) and 12 games have been drawn. I am still smarting from a 2-4 defeat at The Valley in the Curbs era when we had gone ahead.
Derby lost their last league meeting with Charlton 2-1 in February 2024, but haven’t lost back-to-back league games versus the Addicks since January 1984. After their 2-1 win in February 2024, Charlton could win back-to-back away league visits to Derby for the first time since December 1962 (4 in a row).
Derby have alternated between drawing (3) and losing (3) their last six home league games; they had won three in a row on home soil prior to this. Charlton have won four of their last seven away league games (D1 L2), beating Sheffield United 1-0 in their last.
The Rams are currently just outside the relegation places in the Championship table and slightly higher in the form table.
These midweek away games are always especially tricky, but a resilient side with a strong defence should secure an away point at least. Please bear in mind that I am currently bottom of the Badger Prediction League!
