Charlton have a huge chance to turn their season around

Charlton/Derby, 7.45pm, Sky Sports 1, Best Odds, Free Bets

In the two-and-a-half years since Alan Curbishley’s exit, Charlton have fallen from being a steady mid-table Premier League club to an unsteady relegation-threatened Championship club. They are managerless, winless in twelve games, bottom of the league and five points from safety. Derby aren’t looking too good themselves though so tonight’s game represents a great chance for Charlton (generally 7/5) to win, leap up two places and galvanise their season.

» Charlton have won their previous two home games against Derby, both by one-goal margins (2-1 and 1-0).

» The Addicks are unbeaten in five straight games against the Rams dating back to 1998.

» Paul Jewell’s Derby have taken just one point from their last five league games.

» And they have lost each of their last four away games without scoring a single goal, going six without a win.
