Charlton Athletic will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing end to last season when they host Derby County in their Championship opener on Saturday. The Addicks finished 19th in the final 2025 table, earning 53 points from 46 games, with a recent form of LWLDL. They have scored 44 goals and conceded 58 so far this season, leaving them 42 points behind leaders Coventry. In their last result, Swansea defeated Charlton 3-1 on May 2nd. Charlton have lost their last two home league games against Derby, only losing more consecutively between December 1946 and May 1951. Derby County have lost just one of their previous five league meetings with Charlton Athletic, winning three and drawing one. Carlton Morris has been a key player for Derby, scoring 12 league goals last season, with five of those coming from corners. The match is set to be a tough test for Charlton, who will need to dig deep to secure a win.
