Norwich vs Charlton: Avoid the Direct Ticket to Relegation

23rd place meets 17th place. Both are having a tough season. Norwich has only managed 4 wins in 22 games, while Charlton has suffered 4 losses in their last 6. This Boxing Day match at Carrow Road on December 26th, the losing team will have an even gloomier end to the year.

Norwich City (23rd)

• ●Season Record: 4 wins (22 games)
• ●Goals: 25 goals / Conceded: 35 goals (Second most goals conceded in the league)
• ●Last 6 games: 2 wins 3 draws 1 loss
• ●Average Goals: 1.67 goals / Average Goals Conceded: 1.33 goals
• ●Last 3 Home Games: 2 wins 1 draw (Undefeated!)
• ●Average Goals at Home: 2 goals
• ●Last 20 Games: 85% Winless (3 wins)

Norwich is a strangely inconsistent team. They are undefeated in their last 3 games, but overall, they have failed to win in 85% of their last 20 games. They are slightly better at home. They are undefeated in their last 3 games and score 2 goals per game. However, the number 35 goals conceded speaks for itself. Their defense has completely collapsed.

Charlton Athletic (17th)

• ●Season Record: 7 wins (21 games)
• ●Goals: 1 goal per game / Goal Difference: -5
• ●Last 6 Games: 1 win 1 draw 4 losses
• ●Average Goals: 0.83 goals / Average Goals Conceded: 2.33 goals

Charlton is falling apart. They have lost 4 of their last 6 games. They are only scoring 0.83 goals per game and conceding 2.33 goals. It's even worse away from home. They are winless in 12 of their last 15 games, and 42% of their losses have been by a margin of 2 or more goals. Their attack is completely dead.
