Charlton will mark the return to Championship football with the home clash against Watford in the early afternoon on Saturday at The Valley.
Watford are unbeaten in the preseason. Can they continue this form in the first round of the Championship?

Charlton vs Watford Match Preview

Charlton finally returned to the second class football for the first time since the 2019/20 campaign.

They did so thanks to a 1-0 win over Leyton Orient in the last season’s League One playoffs final in May 2025.

Nathan Jones’ men finished last season in fourth place in the third tier. Their main goal ahead of the new season in higher division will be to secure survival.

They have been pretty tough to break down last year in the League One and they have adder more quality in defence by signing Premier League keeper Thomas Kaminski this summer.

Watford had a turbulent campaign last time out in the Championship, finishing the season in 14th place.

Unsurprisingly, they enter the new season with a new manager as Paulo Pezzolano took over Tom Cleverley on the bench.

Pezzolano guided Real Valladolid to the top flight promotion in Spanish football in 2024.

Charlton vs Watford Prediction

It has been a decade since these two teams last met each other and back then Watford celebrated a demolishing 5-0 victory in front of their fans.

Watford have been difficult to break down in the preseason, conceding just two goals in the last four outings. They dispatched Deportivo La Coruna 1-0 in the final test nine days ago.

Charlton have also shown strong defensive rhythm in the preseason, keeping three clean sheets in the last five matches.

The Under 2.5 goals pick looks like the best betting option at the 1.66 odds. Braver tipsters can go for the goalless stalemate as the correct score bet at the attractive 9.00 odds.
