Derby vs Charlton predictions: Rams to see off visiting Addicks
Derby have lost only one of their last four matches
Charlton have won just one of their four away games
Recommended bet: Derby to win
Championship newcomers Charlton are riding high in the standings after winning the League One play-offs last season, but they face a tricky road trip to Derby on Tuesday.
The Addicks are seventh in the table after losing just two of their first seven league games and they have scored back-to-back wins to nil over Sheff Utd and Blackburn to fire themselves up the table after a five-match winless run.
Derby finished 19th last season and are currently two places lower than that, but they have shown enough in their recent outings to suggest that they can add to a tally of just one win in nine league and cup fixtures this season.

Team news
Derby are expected to be without Liam Thompson, Curtis Nelson and Rhian Brewster due to injuries.
Defenders Owen Beck and Sondre Langas are close to returning to action after injuries and one or both of them could feature in the squad.
Full-back Josh Edwards is an injury doubt for Charlton after going off against Blackburn with an ankle issue, but midfielder Luke Berry could be in line to return after an absence.
Miles Leaburn is in contention to start up front but Will Mannion and Matty Godden are likely to be ruled out.
The stats
Charlton have not scored more than once in an away game this season, while both teams have scored in seven of Derby's nine matches in all competitions this season.
None of the last seven meetings between these teams has been a draw.
Seven of Derby's nine league goals have been scored in the second half of games.
Charlton have earned just three corners across their last two away games, while Derby have received more yellow cards (23) than any other Championship team this season.

Prediction
Derby have had a tough start to the season in terms of both fixture difficulty and results, but their general performance level has been decent enough to suggest that they should be climbing the table sooner rather than later.
The Rams put together three successive solid displays on the road against Premier League Burnley in the EFL Cup, Ipswich and West Brom.
Since then they have lost by the only goal of the game to top-six Preston and picked up a decent point on the road at Wrexham in a 1-1 draw thanks to a stunning equaliser from Ben Brereton Diaz.
John Eustace's side look a fair price to claim all three points against an Addicks team whose only away league win came with a late goal against a Sheff Utd side who had yet to score a point at that time.
Nathan Jones' team have made an excellent start after their late charge to earn promotion last season, but this is not likely to be an easy game for them and it's not surprising that the home club have been made favourites.
