The Addicks started the season well but have now lost five on the bounce, conceding 15 goals and scoring just three in the process, to slip to 19th - six points above the relegation zone.
- Birmingham are looking to register consecutive league wins over Charlton for the first time since February 1980.
- The home team won both league meetings between Birmingham and Charlton last season, as many as there'd been in the previous 11 games in this fixture (W2 D5 L4).
- Birmingham City have lost just one of their previous 34 home league games (W27 D6) and have won their past four in a row since the 3-2 defeat to Hull in October.
- Charlton have lost their past three away league games, last having a longer away losing streak in February/March 2022 in League One (four).
- Birmingham have won 17 home league games in 2025 so far – a win in this game would equal their most wins at home in a calendar year, winning 18 games in the year 2000.
