What to expect

We expect about 1.4 goals from Watford and 1.0 from Charlton, so Watford come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.4 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Watford come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Watford or Draw. This covers Watford or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 74 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.28, which works out at about 78 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓Watford have won one of their last five.
✓Charlton have not won any of their last five.

Burnley are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.5-0.9), and we make them about 60% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
