Burnley's twenty-match sample tells a rougher story. No wins at all, ten draws and ten losses, with 38 goals conceded. Some of that run came in the Premier League before they moved down, but the pattern of not winning has continued into the Championship too.

Burnley's inability to win any of their last twenty matches, in any competition, is the standout number here.

Comparative Team Statistics: Burnley vs Charlton

History between the clubs

These two have met a handful of times, but all the recorded meetings go back to between 2012 and 2016. Burnley won some, Charlton won some, including a 4-0 and a 3-0 in Burnley's favour, and a couple of narrow away wins for Charlton too.

None of that tells us much about either side as they are now, given how long ago it was and how different both squads will look today.

A big gap in the table

Charlton sit ninth after eight games, with three wins, three draws and two defeats. Burnley are down in 24th, still without a win from their eight matches so far.

That's a proper gap this early in the season. Charlton have scored seven and conceded ten, while Burnley have shipped seventeen goals in the same number of matches.

Charlton's league position looks a lot healthier than Burnley's right now.

Discipline notes

There isn't much team news to go on beyond card counts. Charlton's D. McNamara has picked up three yellows in seven appearances, while Burnley's J. Laurent has two yellows in the same number of games.

Burnley:

Penalty cards:

J. Laurent x 1 x 2

Charlton:

Penalty cards:

D. McNamara x 1 x 3

It's a small detail rather than a big factor, but worth flagging if discipline becomes relevant during the match.

How this one might unfold

Burnley's home games this season have mostly been tight and low-scoring, with plenty of 1-1 and 2-2 scorelines rather than one-sided results. That suggests they're hard to beat outright even while struggling to win.

Charlton, meanwhile, have shown they can score away from home but also concede at the other end. If Burnley's home draws continue, this could easily be a tighter contest than the table gap suggests.
