Charlton vs Rotherham Prediction

Charlton ended last season closer to the relegation zone than they were to the playoff spots. The Addicks started the current campaign by winning their opening three games before last weekend's defeat and will be eager to return to winning ways.

Rotherham, for their part, were relegated from the Championship but have not started life in the third tier on a bright note. They lost two of their opening three games before last weekend's win.

We are backing the home side to claim a narrow victory in addition to a clean sheet.
