Match preview

Our model sees little between the sides: Watford 36%, the draw 28%, Charlton 35%.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 2.74 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 2.3 goals in total (1.18 for Watford, 1.16 for Charlton), which points to Under 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Watford sit 21st on 11 points; Charlton are 20th on 14.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
