Watford v Charlton Athletic
Football : England: Championship
Venue: Vicarage Road
Monday 6th April 2026, 1500hrs (GMT)

---

A disappointing 2-1 loss away from home at London rivals, QPR, proved to be not such a Good Friday for Watford as The Hornets missed a chance to reduce the gap between themselves and the play-off pack in the Championship table.

That defeat at Loftus Road has resulted in an eight-point gap between Watford and 6th placed Wrexham ahead of Monday’s upcoming fixture at home to another London club, Charlton Athletic, when the two sides meet at Vicarage Road.

The bigger picture shows Watford have managed to pick up just three wins from their last 15 league matches overall in the domestic second tier, only two of which were gained on home soil with wins against Derby County and Wrexham, but also includes being dealt six losses along with being involved in six stalemates.

Charlton Athletic’s winless run in the Championship extended to three games following a 2-1 loss at home to Bristol City on Good Friday which followed a 1-0 loss at home to Norwich City along with a 1-1 draw away from home at Oxford United.

Results overall have seen league wins tough to come by for Nathan Jones’ side as The Addicks have registered just two wins in their last nine matches in the Championship which came courtesy of a 1-0 home win over Birmingham City as well as an impressive 1-0 victory away at high-flying Middlesbrough.

Charlton have managed just one win in their last five home games but on the road The Addicks have made themselves a tough side to beat in recent outings as the visitors are unbeaten in their last five trips away from home.

The Betting Verdict

Charlton Athletic have lost just once in their last six meetings with Watford.

The Pick :

Watford 1-1 Charlton Ath.
