Cardiff City face a trip to Charlton Athletic at The Valley on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bluebirds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 19 and win only 4 of the 33 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in November 2007, with Charlton Ath. running out comfortable 3 - 0 winners in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Charlton Athletic have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Cardiff City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Bluebirds have hit 5 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Charlton Ath. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 43 games have yielded only 35 points. Cardiff City are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 73 points from 43 games.
