Prediction: 1-1
Millwall
The Valley will host Friday’s local derby between Charlton Athletic and Millwall. Charlton have been in a fine form after the coronavirus layoff, and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence. Seeing that the Red Robins managed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last three league fixtures, a low-scoring affair is on the cards at the Valley. The Lions, on the other hand, shared the spoils with the likes of Swansea City and Millwall in the previous two league fixtures.
Given their current positions in the Championship standings, both teams should be happy with one point from the match; therefore, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Charlton midfielder Sam Field is likely to miss the game after picking up a knock in the goalless draw with Cardiff, while Lewis Page remains in the recovery room.
