Charlton had a good streak of unbeaten form snapped on the weekend so it will be interesting to see just how they respond to that. They have been carrying good form overall and go into this game inside of the top six with games to spare over most of those above them too. Peterborough have been inconsistent lately and have suffered three defeats in their last six games and the visitors go as 11/4 underdogs for their road game, with Charlton in as 10/11 odds on favourites.

Peterborough UnitedCharlton Form
Charlton had strung together a nine-match unbeaten streak of form in League One (D5 D4) before they suffered a 2-0 loss at Scunthorpe on the weekend, one of the five sides above them in the table. Still it is good form this season overall from the Addicks who are W6 D2 L1 at The Valley. Charleton have only found themselves trailing at half time in one of their home games this season and they have returned an average of 1.5 goals per game on home turf. They have two clean sheets in their last three home games and three of their last four league wins (home and away) have been a by a 1-0 scoreline which is 6/1 in the correct score market. Six of their last seven league wins have been by a one-goal margin.
Peterborough Form
Peterborough are only a couple of places back from Charlton inside the top ten but they are not carrying away form at all. The Posh have produced a winless seven-match streak of form away from home and are D2 L3 in their last five. So they are not a travelling side who can be backed with a lot of confidence. They have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five road games as well and they have collected just the one clean sheet in their last twelve games home and away in the division. Their overall away form reads W2 D4 L3 this season. They have just the one clean sheet on their travels all season which happened in a 0-0 draw at Doncaster back at the start of September.
Head to Head News
The Posh won both games against Charlton last season in the league, collecting a 2-0 win in each of them. That bucked a long winless streak of seven matches without a win against the Addicks. Charlton have won three of their last four home games against the Posh in all competitions. Three of the last five meetings between these two have been settled by a 2-0 scoreline.
Top Betting Tips
The Posh just cannot be trusted out on the road at the moment and with the positive form that the Addicks are carrying with them at The Valley, the home victory has the most appeal. It’s unlikely that Peterborough are going to be strong enough at the back to keep them at bay.
