Stats for this game
Matchup Cardiff VS Charlton
Close results in both directions
The Championship meetings between Cardiff and Charlton resist a simple verdict. Charlton won 2-1 on 7 March 2015, but Cardiff replied with a 2-1 scoreline on 26 September. The clubs then drew 1-1 on 26 December 2014, adding another narrow balance to the comparison. Later, a 2-2 draw on 23 November 2019 and a 0-0 result on 30 June 2020 showed the matchup staying close without producing a decisive direction.
Margins leave the door open
Cardiff can point to its 2015 response, while Charlton retain the earlier win and the broader pattern of contests that stayed level. The draws are important because they prevent either narrow victory from becoming a complete definition of the pairing. Neither club has a result that settles the comparison across every setting, so the interest in future meetings lies in whether one side can finally create separation or whether another fine-margin exchange preserves Cardiff vs Charlton as an evenly matched Championship contest.
