This is Forest's first visit to The Valley since the 2015-16 season, in which Charlton were relegated from the Championship. Forest have failed to beat Charlton in their last six meetings, drawing four and losing two.
It was expected to be a difficult campaign for Charlton this season, but they've had an exceptional start to the season, taking seven points from their first three games.
Striker Lyle Taylor has been one of the key reasons behind it all, having scored in every league match so far. He'll line up alongside his regular strike partner, former Arsenal academy product Chuks Aneke, who is yet to get off the mark, but has one goal himself.
Whilst the Addicks have been a breath of fresh air going forward, scoring the most goals in the division so far with seven in total, there's question marks at the back. They've yet to keep a clean sheet this season, conceding four in three.
Nottingham Forest have had a mixed start to the season, losing one, drawing one and winning one, but they at least appear to be on an upwards trajectory.
Sabri Lamouchi's side responded to the opening weekend 2-1 defeat to West Brom by digging deep and coming away from high-flying Leeds with a well-earned point, before putting in their best performance yet on Saturday with a 3-0 defeat of Birmingham City.
Former Newcastle winger Sammy Ameobi changed the game against Leeds when he was introduced, earning himself a start in the following game. Expect the whole team to remain unchanged after their dominant win over Birmingham, with Ameobi and Joe Lolley flanking striker Lewis Grabban in a 4-3-3 system.
Given Charlton's questionable record at the back and wealth of firepower, we recommend both teams to score in this game, while Nottingham Forest can travel to London with confidence after their dazzling display at the weekend.
Recommendation:
Both teams to score and Nottingham Forest to win – 9/2 with Bet365
