History of the Middlesbrough v Charlton Athletic fixture

Charlton Ath. face a trip to Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Addicks will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 22 and win only 9 of the 43 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
