Match preview

Watford are favourites at home to Charlton with a 43% chance of winning, but it's far from certain: Charlton have a 26% chance and a draw is 31%.

This could be a tight, low-scoring match: around 2.1 expected goals (Watford 1.2, Charlton 0.9) and only a 35% chance of three or more goals.

At least one side keeping a clean sheet is the more likely outcome, with both teams scoring at 42%. Our predicted score is 1-0, the most likely scoreline for the result we favour, although with so many possible scores, no exact score is likely on its own.
