History of the Charlton Athletic v Queens Park Rangers fixture

Q.P.R. face a trip to Charlton Athletic at The Valley at lunchtime on Friday, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 32 games played, Rangers have recorded 8 wins, and Charlton Ath. have come away with 14 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2007, with Q.P.R. inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Addicks in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Charlton Athletic need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Addicks have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Q.P.R. is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. Rangers have conceded 8 goals in these games, and only hit 1 in reply.

Charlton Ath. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 18 points from their 24 games thus far. Q.P.R.'s 36 points from 24 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
