Charlton Athletic - Derby County predictions and free betting tips [03/02/2024]

On 3rd February in League 1, England's third-tier division, at the 'Valley' stadium, 'Derby' will play against 'Charlton'. Let's take a look at the state of the teams and try to make a decision that will help increase our bankroll.

'Charlton'

A famous collective, which started the 21st century in the Premier League. Only then followed relegation to the Championship and then to League 1. Since then, 'Charlton' has been alternating between League 1 and the Championship, twice making it to the second division in the past 10 years. Last season, the team settled for 10th place in the league table. They are now in 18th position.

In the 25th round, the guys drew with 'Port Vale' (3:3). After that came another defeat from 'Peterborough United' with a score (1:2). Then they lost to 'Burton Albion' (0:2). In the next game, the team suffered a defeat from 'Northampton' with a score (2:3). And in the last round they drew with 'Blackpool' (1:1).

'Derby County'

The well-known 'Derby County' has had difficult times in recent years. Last year, the 'Rams' played really well, but failures in the final games of the season resulted in the team missing the Championship return play-offs by 1 point.

In the 25th round, 'Derby' won against 'Fleetwood' with a score (3:1). After that, they beat 'Burton Albion' (3:2). In the next round, they had a goalless draw with 'Lincoln'. But then they somehow suffered minimal defeat from 'Reading'. In the last game, they won against 'Cheltenham' with a score (2:1).

Head-to-Head

The last face-to-face duel between 'Derby' and 'Charlton' was on 18th February 2023. That meeting resulted in a victory for the 'Rams' (2:0).

Prediction

In this confrontation, I would suggest betting on the visitors' victory. 'Derby' looks great in recent games, despite defeats against 'Reading' 2 rounds ago. 'Charlton', on the other hand, is seeing defeat after defeat, having suffered 3 losses and drawing twice in the last 5 matches.

Total Prediction

I think the teams will show productive football, so I suggest betting on a total of 2.5 more.
