Kick-off is set for Monday at 3pm, with both sides seeking to close out the season on a high.<\/p>\n

Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Watford to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Betfair<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe\u2019re backing Watford to win because they\u2019ve outscored Charlton by 14 goals this season and average more shots per game. Their home form and higher pass accuracy (80.4%) give them the edge, especially against a Charlton side ranked nine places lower.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n5\/6 @ Bet365<\/a>
(54.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here as both teams have conceded 48 goals in 40 games. Watford\u2019s aggressive attacking play and Charlton\u2019s ability to nick goals on the break suggest both nets could bulge, despite Charlton\u2019s clean sheet tally.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lloyd Jones to be Carded<\/strong><\/td>\n3\/1 @ Bet365<\/a>
(25%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWith Watford\u2019s 65 big chances created and dominance in possession, expect Charlton\u2019s defenders and midfielders to be under pressure, increasing the likelihood of bookings. This market could offer value as Charlton look to disrupt the rhythm, and Lloyd Jones has a team-high 9 yellows.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n
