Match Prediction: Charlton Athletic 1-1 Millwall

Charlton Athletic might fancy their chances at home, especially after a solid opening day win against Watford. They've been struggling a bit lately, but their defence looked decent in the draw against Bristol City. If they can keep it tight at the back and let Leaburn do his thing up top, they could nick a result here.

Millwall, on the other hand, have been somewhat inconsistent. That thumping by Middlesbrough was a shocker, but they bounced back well against Sheffield United. They'll need to be on their game if they want to take anything from the Valley. It could be a tight affair, but Millwall's away form gives them a shout.

Charlton's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster. They've had two losses, a draw, and a win in their last four games. That win against Watford at home will give them a boost, but they'll need to tighten up at the back after those defeats to QPR and Leicester. If they can replicate their performance against Watford, they might just hold their own against Millwall.

• Loss: 1-3 vs Queens Park Rangers (A)

Millwall's form has been mixed, with two wins and two losses in their last four. That heavy defeat to Middlesbrough at home was a real blow, but they showed character to beat Sheffield United away. They'll need to be more consistent if they want to get a result at the Valley. Their away win against Norwich could be a good sign, though.

Recent Championship Results:

Caleb Taylor, Derek Mazou-Sacko, and Will Smallbone joined late in the summer transfer window. The trio will be eager to be passed fit and make their debuts for the Lions in this match.
