Watford
- Edward Still has done a great job since his appointment in February 2026, instilling a compact defensive structure and a lightning-quick counter-attacking game on his Watford side.
- The Hornets are unbeaten in their last two home games, winning 3-1 against Wrexham and drawing 0-0 with Leicester City, and their odds of 1.75 to win Monday’s clash with Charlton Athletic seem fair enough considering how strong they are at Vicarage Road.
Charlton Athletic
- Charlton Athletic drew 1-1 away at Oxford United and lost 0-1 at home to Norwich City in their two most recent games, leaving them 18th in the Championship 2025/2026 with 48 points from 39 games.
- They are on course to finish just above the relegation zone, but their away form has been poor throughout the campaign and they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.35 conceded per game on the road.
- With Watford having conceded only 20 goals in 20 home Championship games, they can win the ball in the right areas to hurt Charlton on Monday.
Head-to-Head
- Watford have won 10, drawn six and lost four at home in the Championship 2025/2026.
- Charlton Athletic have won four and drawn eight away in the Championship, losing on eight occasions.
Key Players
Charlie Kelman has scored 2 of Charlton’s 3 goals across their last 5 matches and looks a decent anytime goalscorer bet against Watford, but the home side boast the superior goalscoring power in Luca Kjerrumgaard , who has 10 in 37 Championship appearances.

Prediction
