Watford Can Stay Unbeaten at Home

Watford face Charlton at Vicarage Road after taking just one win from their last five outings. Charlton sit four places higher but have recorded no victories in their previous five matches and managed only four draws in that stretch. At home Watford average 1.2 goals scored per game while Charlton concede 2.2 goals per game on their travels. The two sides have shared two draws in their last eight meetings. Both teams have seen both sides score in six of their ten league games this season. Watford also average 1.8 goals conceded at home yet Charlton have kept just three clean sheets overall. The game could hinge on whether Charlton can create enough away from home to break down a Watford side that rarely keeps opponents out.
