• Charlton beat Sheffield Utd 1-0 on Saturday

• Derby were 1-0 winners at Preston

• Recommended bet: Derby to win at least one half

Nathan Jones' Charlton Athletic will regard the visit of John Eustace's Derby County to The Valley as a must-win game as the Addicks strive to stay clear of the Championship's bottom three.

Equally, the Rams, who boast one of the division's best away records, will fancy their chances of taking three points and inching closer to a play-off battle few would have seen on the cards.

Team news

New signing striker Lyndon Dykes will be hoping for a first Addicks start following his move from Birmingham City, but Amar'i Bell (hamstring) is unlikely to be involved.

Scotland international Max Johnstone and leading scorer Carlton Morris are still sidelined for the visitors and Danny Batth is a doubt, though Dion Sanderson could be fit after a two-game absence.

The stats

Charlton have scored exactly one goal in each of their last seven home matches.

Derby boast the joint most away wins (6) in the Championship.

In 12 home games in the league this season, the Addicks have scored only one goal before the 31-minute mark.

Only Coventry (28 points) have a better first-half record away from home than Derby (22 points), the Rams having led six times in 13 matches at the interval on the road.

Derby have drawn each of their last four away games at newly promoted opposition including 1-1 draws at Wrexham and Birmingham this term.

Prediction

Away specialists Derby should fancy their chances of notching a league-best seventh away win when they visit The Valley.

Eustace's Rams have a happy knack of collecting good results on the road, none more solid than Saturday's 1-0 triumph at Preston.

They do not score many goals, especially with leading marksman Morris missing, but then neither do Charlton, who are struggling.

Jones' men won for the first time since before Christmas at the weekend, beating Sheffield United 1-0 at home.

However, the Blades were down to nine men by the break yet still Athletic rode their luck to pick up a second triumph in the last 13.

Their record at home is strong even if they, too, do not score that many goals.

But Derby look the bet here, at the very least to win either half, something they have done 17 times in their 27 Championship fixtures played to date.
