History of the Charlton Athletic v Manchester City fixture

Charlton prepare to entertain Manchester City at The Valley on Sunday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 23 games played, Addicks have recorded 11 wins, and Man City have come away with 5 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Valley was less than a year ago, in December 2002, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Premiership 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 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Man City's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Sky Blues have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Charlton 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. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Charlton 9 games since last home draw.
Latest 2 games ended in defeat.
Not won in the 2 most recent games.
Man City 6 games since last away draw.
