A foregone conclusion

Needless to saym Millwall are the favourites to win tomorrow’s encounter at The Den at 5/6, giving them an implied win probability of 55%. Charlton are 18/5 to take the away win while a draw is 23/10.

Charlton have lost nine of their past 12 away league games against Millwall (W1 D2), losing their past three in succession. Their only victory during that time came with a 2-0 success in December 1995.

Having lost three of their first four home league games this season (W1), Millwall have now lost just one of their past 10 at The Den (W7 D2).

Charlton have won just one of their past 18 away London derbies in the Championship (D5 L12), conceding at least twice in each of their past six.

Matty Godden is hoping to be in his neighbours’ bad books this weekend - with the Charlton Athletic striker living on the same road as Millwall supporters.  The Kent-based striker recently returned from a knee injury which had sidelined him since the League One play-off final win over Leyton Orient.

Godden has scored for previous club Coventry City at The Den. He got the first in a 3-0 victory over the Lions in November 2023 and also struck in a 3-2 reverse in August 2022.

,”I’ve got Millwall fans either side of me at home so it’s important for me - I know what it means for the club and for the community,” he told Charlton’s official website. “We’ll be going out there and giving it everything we’ve got.
