Derby County vs Charlton Athletic Live Stats & Betting Odds
Derby County Prediction – Can Derby break their drought?
It’s now 7 matches without a win in the Championship for Derby County and manager, Phillip Cocu, as The Rams drew 1-1 away from home with bottom club, Wigan Athletic, on Boxing Day which has left Monday night’s hosts in a disappointing 18th place in the Championship table.
Derby last tasted success towards the end of November when they registered a 1-0 home win against Preston North End but since that victory, The Rams have lost 4 and drawn 3 in the last 7 matches overall in the second tier and confidence is starting to drain away.
Recent defeats to Fulham, Blackburn Rovers, Millwall and Reading have contributed to Derby’s slide down the Championship table and although they hold home advantage at Pride Park this Monday night, with a home record of 5-5-2 14/9, there’s no guarantees of a win here.
However, the goal markets look a decent option here as 6 of Derby’s 12 home matches have seen both teams score, and the hosts will be desperate to turn their season around with a much needed win against Charlton.
Charlton Athletic Prediction – Can Charlton continue revival?
Following a miserable run of results in the Championship for Charlton Athletic, the London club seem to have turned the corner as The Addicks head into this Monday night clash against Derby County with a 3-match unbeaten run behind them.
Back-to-back 2-2 draws with Hull City and QPR along with a 3-2 home win against Bristol City on Boxing Day has revived Charlton’s fortunes and they’re now 7 points above the relegation zone which gives Lee Bowyer’s men some breathing space.
However, the fact remains that Charlton have still not won an away match since the end of August when they recorded a 2-0 win away at Reading, but a subsequent poor sequence of 8 away matches without a win means Charlton aren’t completely out of the woods yet.
An away record of 2-4-5 15/18 doesn’t inspire much confidence in the visitors on the road but 8 of Charlton’s 11 away matches this season have resulted in both teams scoring, and this looks the best play from Charlton’s perspective too.
Key-Facts – Derby County vs Charlton Athletic
- 6 of Derby’s 12 home matches have seen both teams score
- 8 of Charlton’s 11 away matches have resulted in both teams scoring
- Both Derby and Charlton will be keen to move away from the bottom three
Betting Tips Verdict
Both Derby and Charlton have produced inconsistent displays of late but both look likely to score here.
