History of the Charlton Athletic v Middlesbrough fixture

Middlesbrough face a trip to Charlton Athletic at The Valley on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Boro will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a F.A. Cup match.
