Charlton – Watford

Charlton host Watford in what promises to be a pivotal clash for both sides. Sitting seventh with 12 points from three wins, three draws and a single loss, the home side have a modest +1 goal difference (6‑7) and will be looking to consolidate their push for the top half. Watford, down in 17th place with eight points after two victories, two draws and three defeats, sit on a –2 goal difference (7‑9) and will need a win to steer clear of the relegation zone. The two teams have met previously, but with Charlton enjoying a slight edge in the table, the encounter could prove decisive for Watford’s survival hopes and Charlton’s ambition to climb higher.
