Editor's Prediction
Charlton are making their return to the Championship eager to assert their ambitions right away, and a home match against Watford presents a solid opportunity to start on a positive note. The visitors, meanwhile, need to not only find their rhythm but also address their scoring issues, having netted no more than one goal in each of their last 12 official matches consecutively. In a closely contested game, home-field advantage could be the decisive factor. Given this context, betting on Watford to score under 1.5 goals seems justified.
