Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There's 74% chance of Charlton and Watford 3 goals or less combined during this Championship game according to our predictive algorithm and, in the absense of a strong favourite in the WDW market, we think that's where the smart money should go. Our calculations are made based on 20-game form, historical head-to-head (H2H) statistics and the view of the betting market, and you can go with it at a best price of 1.29.
