Charlton Athletic
Charlton Athletic (7 W, 4 D, 5 L) have won seven, drawn four and lost five of their 16 Championship home games this season, scoring at an average of 1.06 goals per game at the Valley.
Wrexham
- Wrexham has won six, drawn six and lost just four of their 16 Championship away games this term, averaging 1.25 goals per away game.
- Wrexham comes into this match on the back of two wins, a 5-3 win against Ipswich Town and 1-0 win over Portsmouth.
Head-to-Head
Wrexham has won two of the last three head-to-heads , beating Charlton Athletic 1-0 at home three months ago.
Key Players
- His team sets up in a 3-5-2 with high, direct long balls played into their target-man, hold-up striker and prolific goal scorer Kieffer Moore (11 goals in 30 appearances) to win second balls and aerial duels.
- Sonny Carey (8 goals in 33 matches) is the most creative player in the Charlton squad and has the ability to create something from nothing, but also finds lots of space between the lines to get into the penalty area.
Betting Insights
- Wrexham’s recent form, psychological edge in the H2H and 6th place standing in the Championship (51 points from 33 games) sees the Welsh side come into this one as joint favourites at 2.65, although Charlton Athletic are the same price and the draw is 3.15, suggesting a tight, competitive encounter is on the cards.
- Both sides are priced at 1.95 to score this weekend and over 2.5 goals at 2.1, which looks a smart bet here given the contrast in styles, as Jones’ high-pressing, transition-heavy philosophy takes on Parkinson’s direct, aerial approach.
