History of the Charlton Athletic v Brighton & Hove Albion fixture

Brighton & HA travel to take on Charlton Athletic at The Valley on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Seagulls 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 Ath. was well over fifteen years ago, back in October 1991, with Charlton Ath. running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a Second Division match.
