Charlton vs Watford

Current streaks

Recent form

Charlton

Charlton are in excellent form, showcasing a remarkable run of five consecutive victories and an unbeaten streak stretching back at least eight matches. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with five clean sheets in their last six games and only one goal conceded during this period. The Addicks have been efficient in attack as well, scoring 11 goals in their last six matches, including a 3-0 victory over Southend in their most recent friendly. Their goal difference of +10 over these games is impressive, and they've managed to keep the majority of their matches (67%) under 2.5 goals, indicating a disciplined and controlled style of play. With both league matches in this run ending in 1-0 victories, Charlton have demonstrated their ability to grind out results, which bodes well for their 4th place position in the league table.

Watford

Watford's recent form has been patchy, with the Hornets struggling to find consistency in their last six matches. They've endured a concerning run of three consecutive defeats in the Championship, conceding two goals in each of their losses to Burnley and Blackburn Rovers. Despite this poor run, Watford have managed to keep things relatively tight at the back, with an average of 1.17 goals conceded per game. Their attacking output has been modest, scoring just once per match on average. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of Watford's recent games, suggesting that while they're finding the net, they're also vulnerable defensively. The majority of their matches (67%) have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards lower-scoring affairs. Watford's most recent outing, a friendly draw against Leyton Orient, might offer some hope of stabilising their form as they head into the new Championship season.

Recent home/away form

Charlton

Charlton Athletic have been in exceptional form at home, boasting an impressive five-match winning streak in League One. Their recent run includes four consecutive victories, showcasing their dominance at The Valley. The Addicks have been prolific in front of goal, netting 13 times in their last six home fixtures, with a particularly notable 4-0 thrashing of Huddersfield Town. Defensively, they've been solid, conceding just four goals and keeping three clean sheets during this period. With 67% of their recent home matches seeing over 2.5 goals, Charlton have been providing entertaining, high-scoring encounters for their supporters. Their goal difference of +9 in these six games underlines their attacking prowess and defensive stability, making them a formidable force on their own turf.

Watford

Watford's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the Hornets suffering a concerning run of five consecutive defeats in the Championship before securing a win in a friendly match against Boreham Wood. Their league performances have been particularly worrying, with the team conceding two goals in three of their last five away fixtures. Whilst there haven't been any notably high-scoring games, Watford have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just once in each of their last four away league matches. Their defensive record has also been less than stellar, managing only one clean sheet in their last six away games. With an average of 2.17 total goals per game and a 50% rate of both teams scoring, Watford's away matches have been relatively balanced in terms of goal distribution, but the team's negative goal difference of -3 highlights their struggles on the road.
