Head-to-head statistics Charlton - Derby
Charlton Team Overview
The Addicks head into the new season with optimism backed by a successful transfer window. Eight new signings have joined the squad, including experienced players Dan McNamara, Karlan Grant and Nathaniel Chalobah, who has already provided an assist in a winning cup match against Cheltenham. All of them arrived as free agents.
Nathan Jones remains in charge, having managed the team since the start of 2024. His players will take to the field at their home stadium for the first time since April. But not all of them. Defenders Amari Bell and Onel Hernandez, along with midfielder Harvey Nibbs, will miss the match due to injuries sustained at the end of last season and during the summer.

Derby Team Overview
The Rams are currently in a far more difficult psychological state. The disappointment of a collapsed club sale has been compounded by a League Cup defeat at home to Championship newcomers Lincoln City (1:2). Aside from possession and a stunning goal from Sammy Szmodics, John Eustace's proteges had little to offer.
Last season Derby finished eighth, their best result since 2019. However, the team has barely strengthened over the summer, signing just three new players. The only significant outlay was Bobby Clark, who arrived from Salzburg (€8m). The visitors' injury situation is also far from ideal. The key absence is striker Patrik Ajimangi, who continues to recover from a serious injury, while the availability of defenders Matthew Clarke and Dion Sanderson is in doubt.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Derby County are going through a difficult period following a collapsed deal and an early League Cup exit. So there are doubts about whether the visitors will be able to start well. We have more faith in Charlton, who have missed the support of their home stands and may take advantage of their opponents' current state. But the Addicks have conceded in 7 of their last 8 home Championship matches. That's why the optimal bet looks to be both teams to score (yes), which has landed in three consecutive head-to-head meetings between these sides. Predicted score - 1:1.
