The Addicks have won 13 of their last 15 home games.
Watford ended last season with five successive away defeats.

Addicks to hit the ground running

Charlton edged Leyton Orient 1-0 at Wembley to end their five-year absence from the Championship, and they can begin their second-tier adventure with a win over Watford on Saturday.

The Addicks ended the League One season with a phenomenal home record, unbeaten at The Valley since mid-December and winning 13 of their 15 games there since Christmas.

Watford, by contrast, picked up just 17 points from 23 away games last season and ended 2024/25 with five consecutive away defeats, so backing Charlton to start the season with a confidence-boosting win appeals.

Three of the Hornets’ five away defeats to end the season ended 2-1, and Charlton scored two or more goals in five of their last six home games, so a 2-1 correct score prediction looks solid.
