We head to The Valley on Saturday afternoon for Charlton taking on Preston North End in the Championship. Neither side has kept a clean sheet in the league this season, and our prediction is that there will be goals at both ends in this match.
Charlton have made a promising start to the season, winning both their games against Derby and West Ham 2-1. They are one of three teams to have a perfect record after the first two matches.
However, the Addicks are entering this match off the back of a 5-1 thrashing by Tottenham Hotspur on the road in midweek, which sent them crashing out of this season’s Carabao Cup.
The hosts won just one of their final five home league games last season, and have not kept a clean sheet at The Valley since the start of March.
In contrast, Preston have got their season started disappointingly, losing both their league games against Bolton (2-1) and Wolves (3-1), which sees them sat 20th in the standings.
PNE also bowed out of the EFL Cup earlier in the week after suffering a 4-0 loss at home to Everton. They have now won only one of their last eight competitive matches in regulation time.
The visitors are W2 D1 L2 in their last five matches on the road, but they have emerged victorious in each of their last three league matches at this venue.

Our Charlton Athletic vs Preston North End Prediction
Charlton have made a bright start to the season by winning both their league games so far, but they have had to rely on outscoring opponents to get those results, as they are yet to keep a clean sheet.
Preston, meanwhile, have scored in both league games this term, but they have already conceded five goals. However, the visitors will feel that they may be able to open their account for the season here, having won their last three matches at this venue. Our Charlton vs Preston North End prediction is BTTS.
