History of the Charlton Athletic v Watford fixture

Charlton Ath. play host to Watford at The Valley on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Addicks are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 5 of the 27 games.

The last time the two teams met at Charlton Ath. was more than a decade ago, in August 1995, the Addicks carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Charlton Athletic's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Addicks have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Watford's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Hornets's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Charlton Ath. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 8 games have yielded only 3 points. Watford are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premiership with a return of just 4 points from their 8 games thus far.
