Charlton boss Alan Pardew will come up against his former team Reading when they visit the Valley to tkae on his current side, Charlton Athletic in Saturday's live Championship offering on Sky Sports. Whilst it is still early days of the new season, both these sides will be looking to be in the promotion hunt come May and both Pardew and Reading boss, Steve Coppell will see this encounter as an opportunity to take all three points. The las time these two sides met was in the Premier League last April, when the game finished 0-0 and once again it would appear that the bookmakers can't split the two side with Bet365 offering 13/8 about either side winning with the draw available at 23/10.

Reading have made the better start to the season, with one win and adraw from their opening two fixtures, while Charlton managed a win in their opening fixture before going down 1-0 away at Watford last weekend. Of the two teams, Reading still have plenty of Premiership experience in their side and against a Charlton side who often flattered to deceive last season, it could be worth siding with Steve Coppell's side in this fixture.
Reading striker Leroy Lita had a loan spell at The Valley at the end of last season and he is likely to have something to prove against his former club, for which he failed to score a goal for during his loan spell. He is 6/1 to score the first goal in this game and at those odds is sure to make plenty of appeal to people betting on this game. Kevin Doyle, at 7/1 is the other likely threat in Reading's forward line.
As far as predictingthe correct score in this game, it is too early in the season to figure out how defensive or attacked minded either of these sides will be, but of the four Championship games involving these two sides so far this season, all have had less than three goals in them, therefore a bet on under 2.5 goals at 4/6 should prove a safe bet.
