Millwall are unbeaten in their last 13 encounters with Charlton
Both Millwall and Charlton have scored in each of their last four matches in all competitions
Recommended bet: Millwall to win and both teams to score
Just one defeat in their last six league games has seen Millwall move back into the play-off picture in the Championship, as they prepare for a south London derby with Charlton on Saturday.
The Lions are now just six points outside of the automatic promotion places and can strengthen their claims with back-to-back home games to look forward to.
Up first is a clash with the Addicks, who are looking over their shoulder with just a four-point cushion from the relegation zone.
Team News
Alex Neil left both Alfie Doughty and Josh Coburn out of his starting XI at Coventry, saying that he needed to try and reduce injuries.
The Lions boss indicated that both would return against Charlton, after admitting he needed to "manage minutes to keep the squad fit".
Charlton are expected to include on-loan Liverpool defender Luke Chambers in their matchday squad, after he completed his move to the Valley on Wednesday.
Two other new faces featured in the midweek home defeat to Derby, with Lyndon Dykes playing the whole 90 minutes and Harry Clarke coming off the bench. Both are expected to start at the New Den.
The stats
Millwall have won their last three home meetings against Charlton.
There are 14 points separating the two teams, although Millwall have played a game more.
The two sides played out a 1-1 draw at the Valley back in September.
There have been three red cards handed out in the last six matches between Millwall and Charlton.
Eight of Charlton’s last 10 goals have been scored after the half-time break.

Prediction
Alex Neil’s Millwall have lost just two of their last 10 league matches, a run that has seen them move up to fifth in the Championship table.
The hosts have built their promotion bid around a strong record at The Den, with the Lions collecting 26 points from their 14 home league games.
In stark contrast, Charlton have struggled on the road this term, with just two wins from their 14 away games to date.
In fact Nathan Jones’ men have not won an away match since October 21 and go into Saturday’s derby clash having lost 2-1 at home to Derby on Tuesday.
Millwall have already beaten the likes of Swansea, Bristol City and Southampton on home soil in the last couple of months and should have too much for a Charlton team, who look like being caught up in a relegation tussle.
It is worth noting, though, that the Addicks have scored in their last six consecutive matches in all competitions and can do so again in defeat.
