Millwall
One of this weekend's early Championship kick-offs sees Charlton host South London rivals Millwall. With 22,000 tickets sold already for the fixture, a bumper crowd is set for an eagerly anticipated clash as the fierce rivals face-off at The Valley this Saturday. The home side come into this one in poor form, crashing out the EFL Cup before losing out to another London club in QPR in their last league fixture. Millwall likewise, will be looking to put their defeat last time out to Wrexham behind them. Two wins and two losses this season sees them sitting in 12th place after four games.
Key Betting Tip: Millwall to win at 3.03 provides fantastic value based on advice from our team of in-house tipsters
Charlton: Kaminski; Ramsay, Jones, Bell, Edwards; Coventry, Docherty, Apter, Carey, Campbell; Kelman
Millwall: Benda; Leonard, Crama, Cooper, Bryan; Neghli, Cundle, Luongo, Emakhu; Coburn, Ivanovic
Charlton Last 5 Matches:
QPR 3-1 Charlton (Championship) Cambridge 3-1 Charlton (EFL Cup) Charlton 0-1 Leicester (Championship) Bristol City 0-0 Charlton (Championship) Charlton 3-1 Stevenage (EFL Cup)
The hosts find themselves in a bit of an early-season rut. Winless in the league since the opening day, Charlton have lost their last three games across all competitions. Nathan Jones is tasked with ensuring this run of form is abruptly put to an end. However, coming up against a Millwall team who have won every away game so far this season, it will be no easy feat.
Millwall Last 5 Matches:
Millwall 0-2 Wrexham (Championship) Millwall 2-1 Coventry (EFL Cup) Sheffield Utd 0-1 Millwall (Championship) Millwall 0-3 Middlesbrough (Championship) Newport 0-1 Millwall (EFL Cup)
For Millwall, the short trip to Charlton will be a welcome opportunity to put points on the board in the Championship. Their away performances this time out have been stellar and a visit to The Valley will no doubt be eyed as an ample chance for yet another victory on the road.

Football Park's Best Bet: Millwall to win @ 3.03- Our team of in-house tipsters here at Football Park have predicted an away win in this one. Millwall's brilliant away record coinciding with Charlton's early struggles justify this selection.
Charlie Kelman (Charlton) Yet to find the target this season following his summer move from QPR, the 23 year-old will be out to break his run without a goal as soon as possible. With talent in abundance, you get the feeling that once he gets one there will be quite a few more to follow this season.
Conor Coventry (Charlton) Coming to Charlton with Premier League experience and internatonal appearances at youth level for the Republic of Ireland, Coventry has an ability to conduct and dictate games of football. When he plays well, Charlton play well and Nathan Jones will be looking for a big performance from his midfielder on Saturday.
Mihailo Ivanovic (Millwall) The subject of a large transfer bid this summer, Millwall have done incredibly well to hold on to their Serbian striker. Now the distraction of the summer transfer window is over and Ivanovic can concentrate on his football. He will undoubtedly be eyeing his first goal of the season this Saturday.
Luke Cundle (Millwall) The dynamic midfielder has been a real creative spark for The Lions this campaign. Perhaps not reaching the output he would like so far this season, his performances have been bright and positive in large parts. The 23 year-old will have a lot to say in how this one plays out.
Referee: Dean Whitestone- Whitestone has refereed over 500 games in the EFL since 2005.
