 Charlton vs Nottingham Forest Preview

The Addicks were largely written off pre-season, with Lee Bowyer’s side expected to struggle. However, Charlton have been excellent, and they are unbeaten after three Championship matches. Last season’s play-off winners began by beating a much-fancied Stoke side, and they picked up a very creditable draw at Oakwell on Saturday. Although it’s a great time to be a Charlton fan, realistic supporters know that tougher tests are to come. The only minor blemish so far is the fact that they haven’t been able to keep a clean sheet yet this campaign. They did lose Patrick Bauer this summer with Tom Lockyer still seemingly acclimatising to Championship football alongside the vastly experienced Jason Pearce. At the other end, the Addicks possess a real threat with Lyle Taylor one of just a handful of players to have found the net in every single game this season.

Nottingham Forest have been one of the more unpredictable sides in the Championship so far this season, with their current record reading 1-1-1. Sabri Lamouchi’s men have a bulbous squad, but there is undoubtedly plenty of talent in that side. They displayed a more ruthless approach at the weekend with an impressive 3-0 victory over Birmingham, and they will be looking to build upon that first success of the season. Lewis Grabban has two from two, and he could become one of the Championship’s most prolific marksmen if given a run in the side. Last season, the former Bournemouth man was restricted to appearances from the bench under Martin O’Neills, but he’s already beginning to show what he is capable of.

This is a tough match to predict, and therefore I’m avoiding the 1X2 market until we’ve seen more of both sides. Charlton’s inability to keep a clean sheet coupled with the fact that Forest have suddenly found some form in front of goal should lead to an entertaining contest, and both sides will be expected to find the net. It may be an odds-on price, but I’d expect Both Teams to Score? Yes to land in this one.

The aforementioned Lyle Taylor has made the step up to the Championship seamlessly, and he’s displaying all the attributes of a top striker. Charlton create plenty of chances, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him notch again here. Forest kept a clean sheet for the first time this season at home to Birmingham, but they are less secure on the road. He looks a decent price to find joy amongst the Forest back-line.
