Charlton have lost just three of their nine home league fixtures
Oxford have won only two of their 11 away league games
Recommended bet: Charlton to win
Having initially settled well in the Championship after last season’s promotion from League One, Charlton have tumbled down the table and will be desperate to stop the rot when they welcome relegation-threatened Oxford to The Valley on Saturday.
Charlton find themselves on a six-game winless run, ending a sequence of five straight defeats with their latest 1-1 draw at Birmingham, and they will be looking to build on that back on home soil.
Oxford are currently in the relegation places but are only one point adrift of safety despite winning just one of their last nine matches.
Gary Rowett’s side have struggled on their travels, taking only nine points from 11 away games, and they will know that they are in for a stern test in the capital.

Prediction
Charlton are without a victory since the start of November, having taken only one point from their last six matches, but last weekend’s draw at Birmingham should have done their confidence the world of good.
The Addicks’ dip in form could be blamed on a particularly demanding run of recent fixtures which has seen them play leaders Coventry, second-placed Middlesbrough and play-off protagonists Stoke, so they should find this challenge much more to their liking.
Oxford look a side in grave relegation danger in the Championship after winning only four of their opening 21 matches, while they have shown particular vulnerability on the road.
Home league wins over West Brom, Watford, Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday suggest that this is a test that Charlton should be passing if they do not want to be reeled in by the bottom three.
