Watford prepare to entertain Charlton Athletic at Vicarage Road Stadium at tea-time on Saturday, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 28 games played, Hornets have recorded 11 wins, and Charlton Ath. have come away with 6 victories.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vicarage Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2007, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides
Watford's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Hornets have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Charlton Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Addicks's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 10 goals for and 8 against.
Watford are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 47 points from 27 games. Charlton Ath.'s total of 43 points from their 27 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Watford at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Hornets will at least gain a draw. Score draw
