Watford’s struggles in the English Championship continue as the Hornets are now on four straight losses. Charlton Athletic, their next opponent, have zero wins in their past five matches. Their last two H2H meetings were low-scoring games, and we will likely see a repeat on Saturday. Hence, our Watford vs Charlton Athletic match prediction is under 2.5 goals.

Watford were beaten 5-1 by Cardiff in their last league game, making it four consecutive losses after their 2-1 win over Preston in early September. Even worse for the home side is their attacking form ahead of this game. Watford have only eight goals in ten league games this season, making them one of the lowest-scoring sides in the league.

Now Watford will take on Charlton Athletic, who are also struggling in front of goal. The away side beat Croydon Athletic 2-1 in their last match. Their league form is poor as they have been winless in seven games. Charlton Athletic also has only 10 goals in the league, two more than Watford, a number that shows the away side's poor goalscoring form.

The Addicks are scoring at a rate of 1.0 per game, which is even better than the home side. Their poor attacking form will be carried over into Saturday's game, so we expect two goals or less by full time.

Our Watford vs Charlton Athletic Prediction

The Hornets come into this game as one of the lowest-scoring sides in the English Championship, netting only eight goals in their past ten games. Their next opponent is also very poor in front of goal, netting only two more goals in the same number of games. 

Their form in recent league games has also been poor, so we expect very little attacking display from both sides on Saturday. Moreover, their past two H2H meetings ended with under 2.5 goals, and we believe both teams are poised for another low-scoring match. Hence, our Watford vs Charlton Athletic prediction is Under 2.5 Goals.

Prediction :

 

Under 2.5 goals
