Watford vs Charlton — Tips & Analysis

Charlton +0.25: Charlton are hard to beat, and Watford are in a bad place. Watford have lost 11 of their last 16 games and sit 22nd in the table. They score less than a goal a game and let in more than 2. Watford have also not won by 2 or more goals once in their last 16. Charlton have tied four of their last five, with 0-0 games against Portsmouth and QPR among them. They have lost only 4 of their last 14, and they score more than a goal a game. The last two meetings between these two finished 1-1 and 0-1. Those two recent meetings were decided by a goal at most. The longer record between these two has produced more goals. Watford create very little at Vicarage Road, under a goal a game, and they have lost four of their last five. Charlton should have more of the ball without turning it into much. A 1-1 is the most likely score, and a level game leaves us well placed. The catch is at the other end. Charlton let in more than 2 goals a game in their away games, and Watford did beat Preston at home in this run. Chalobah and Godden are both out with muscle problems, and Charlton have scored once or fewer in four of their last five. We still want Charlton with the small head start against a home side this fragile.
