Our predictions for Charlton Athletic vs Millwall
Match Prediction: Charlton Athletic 1-1 Millwall
Charlton Athletic's recent form has been inconsistent, with two losses after a draw and a win. They will need to capitalise on their home advantage against Millwall, who have also shown mixed results recently. Charlton's defence will be tested, especially after conceding three goals against Queens Park Rangers, but their win against Watford suggests they can be resilient at home.
Millwall, on the other hand, have shown they can secure victories away from home, as demonstrated by their win against Sheffield United. However, their recent home losses could impact their confidence. The match is likely to be closely contested, with both teams looking to exploit any weaknesses in the opposition's defence. The outcome may hinge on which team can better manage the game's tempo and create more scoring opportunities.
