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.
