Last 5 Blackburn Matches: Portsmouth 2-1 Blackburn (A) Championship Blackburn 2-0 Millwall (H) Championship Middlesbrough 0-0 Blackburn (A) Championship Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Blackburn (A) Championship Blackburn 0-2 Wrexham (H) Championship

Not the greatest run of form going into this game for Blackburn having lost 2 drawn 2 and only winning a single match. The main positive that can be taken from these last 5 matches are the 3 clean sheets that they managed to keep. On top of the 3 clean sheets, they have only conceded 4 goals less than a goal per game something any team would be happy with; the main issue has come from the other side of the pitch as they have only managed to score 3 goals in the last 5 matches. Their forwards have struggled to convert chances and having now gone 3 games without a goal, they will be struggling for confidence going forward, this will need to change if they want a result.

Last 5 Charlton Matches: Birmingham 1-1 Charlton (A) Championship Charlton 1-0 Oxford United (H) Championship Norwich 1-0 Charlton (A) Championship Portsmouth 2-1 Charlton (A) Championship Charlton 1-1 Coventry (H) Championship

Once again not the greatest run of form having the exact same record as Blackburn with 2 losses, 2 draws and a single win. The main difference is that while their defence hasn’t been as strong, it has been very good only conceding more than 1 goal once and only conceding 5 goals in the last 5 matches. On top of this they have only failed to score once scoring 4 goals in the last 5 matches. They will be coming off a confidence boost as their last match was a very good draw against the best team in the Championship a game where they managed to generate over 1 Xg, they will be confident that they can win this match.

James Bee (Charlton): The winger has been vital is pushing his team forward this season and creating for them, having picked up 2 goals and 3 assists he has proved that he is the main man to make something happen. He has currently overperformed his Xg by 1.1 and will be looking to make that more in this match, adding onto this his 34 chances created, and you can see why he has become so important for Charlton when going forward, he will be needed if they want a result.
