Bristol City aim to secure back-to-back away wins at Charlton Athletic for the first time in their history this Saturday. The Robins travel to The Valley for a 12:30 BST kick-off, sitting eighth in the Championship with 13 points from eight games.
Michael Skubala addressed the media ahead of the trip, with his side buoyed by a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace last time out. That victory made it two wins in a row, a run they will look to extend against a Charlton side one place below them in the table.
Recent form and historical edge
City’s recent form shows three wins from their last five matches, a sequence that includes a 1-0 home victory over Watford. Their last meeting with Charlton ended in a 2-1 away win back in April, and another victory this weekend would mark a historic first. Dominic Ballard, the club's top scorer with three goals this season, will be a key threat.
Charlton's recent struggles
The hosts have found goals hard to come by at The Valley recently, keeping three consecutive home league clean sheets. However, they have won just one of their last six league meetings with Bristol City. City’s creative hub, Rio Cardines, leads the Championship this season with 31 chances created and six assists, and his delivery could be decisive in breaking down that stubborn home defence.

Skubala’s men know a win could see them climb into the top six, depending on other results. The match kicks off at The Valley on Saturday afternoon.
