Comparative Team Statistics: Charlton vs Norwich

Recent meetings have gone with home advantage

The last two Championship meetings between these sides split evenly by venue. Charlton won 1-0 at home back in March, having lost 1-0 at Norwich the previous December. Older meetings going back to 2014 are too dated to say much about the current teams.

Where they sit right now

Charlton are ninth after eight games, with three wins, three draws and two losses, and a goal record of 7 for and 10 against. Norwich are down in 17th, also from eight games, but with a more lopsided three wins and five losses, scoring 16 and conceding 17.

Norwich's numbers show a team involved in high-scoring matches regularly, whereas Charlton's low goal totals point to tighter, more cagey games.

Key names to watch

Norwich's M. Touré has been their standout scorer with five goals in seven matches, and he'll be the main threat Charlton need to contain. A. Brooks has chipped in with two assists for Norwich.

Penalty cards:

On discipline, Norwich's J. Córdoba has picked up four yellow cards in eight games, while Charlton's D. McNamara has three in seven. There's no confirmed injury or suspension list to factor in beyond that.

Two very different game patterns

Charlton's matches this season have generally been low-scoring and tight, while Norwich's have swung wildly, often featuring three or four goals for either side. That mismatch in style makes it hard to predict how open or closed this game will be.

If Norwich's defensive frailties show up again, Charlton's tighter setup could suit them. But Norwich's attacking edge, led by Touré, means they're capable of scoring against most sides too.
