Footymad preview History of the Charlton Athletic v Middlesbrough fixture

Middlesbrough travel to take on 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 last time the two teams met at Charlton Athletic was back in January 2007, over five years ago, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Premiership match.
