History of the Watford v Charlton Athletic fixture

Charlton Ath. face a trip to Watford at Vicarage Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 29 games played, Addicks have recorded 6 wins, and Watford have come away with 11 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Watford's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. Hornets have conceded a disappointing 9 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Charlton Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Addicks have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Watford see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 1 points from their 1 games played so far, Charlton Ath. are holding the final promotion place in the Coca-Cola Championship, and have accumulated 3 points from the 1 games they have played so far.
