Both Cardiff City U21 and Charlton Athletic U21 have similar league records, are separated by just one point, and have high-scoring tendencies. Cardiff's home form is poor (4W 1D 6L), but their attack can be potent, while Charlton's away form is mixed (4W 2D 4L) and they concede over 2 goals per away game.
