Watford vs Charlton Preview
Vicarage Road will host a clash between two struggling sides as Watford look to end their losing streak and Charlton Athletic aim to get back to winning ways. The Hornets suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Cardiff City in midweek, extending their run of consecutive losses to four matches. Changes are expected, with Bola, Nabizada and Doumbia pushing for starts, while injuries to Akomeah, Bove, Baah and Ngakia continue to limit the hosts’ options. Watford must improve defensively after conceding 2.60 goals per home game in their recent sample.
Charlton, meanwhile, have gone seven games without a victory after sharing the spoils with Burnley. Nathan Jones will hope his players can take encouragement from that draw, especially as there are no fresh injury concerns. Ivan Mesik could earn a starting spot after scoring a late equaliser against the Clarets, offering the visitors another option as they search for a much-needed breakthrough.
As both sides are desperate to grab something from Saturday's clash, we are tempted to bet on Draw. Additionally, BTTS and Over 1.5 goals markets seem appealing.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday, 17 October 2026 at 12:30.
