Watford and Charlton Athletic sit in the bottom three in the Championship form table having combined to register just one victory between them in 12 games.
Hornets boss Alessio Dionisi is seemingly hanging on to his job after his side suffered four successive defeats and slipped into the relegation zone.
The Addicks have gone seven games without a victory, but have been defeated just twice in the league so far.
Watford v Charlton Athletic Prediction Tips Summary

Watford v Charlton Athletic Prediction
Best Bet: Draw @ 23/10
Confidence is sure to be low in both camps.
Watford have dropped into the bottom three after their latest loss, a 5-1 drubbing at Cardiff City, moving the club's hierarchy to state that Dionisi would be in charge for this game, but another defeat could be the final straw for the Italian in his first English posting.
Opposite number Nathan Jones has gone seven Championship games without a win after his Addicks side started the season with three wins and a draw.
These sides did not meet for a decade but were back in the same division last season.
They played out a 1-1 draw at Vicarage Road in April, exchanging second-half goals, while Charlton stole all three points at The Valley the previous August via Harvey Knibbs' 94th-minute intervention in a one-goal game.
Given how hard winning has been recently, another Vicarage Road stalemate is on the cards.
Alternative Bet: Amin Nabizada 2+ shots on target @ 5/2
Amin Nabizada has proved himself one of the bright spots for Watford this season. The teenager has three goals in 10 Championship appearances.
The academy graduate netted in August’s home draw with West Ham United and picked up the club's September Goal of the Month award for his effort in the loss against Stoke City.
He came off the bench in Cardiff in midweek but could well be restored to the starting XI now and his shooting ability from distance could be a real asset against a mean Charlton defence.
Watford v Charlton Athletic Bet Builder Tip
- Draw or Charlton - Double Chance
- Under 3 goals
- Under 9 corners
Pays 13/2
Just eight goals in the league so far is an illustration of Watford's problems, while only two clubs have conceded more than their 19.
Like their hosts, Charlton are finding winning hard but the Addicks are at least tough to beat, losing just two of 10 in the Championship. They can leave Vicarage Road with at least a point.
The Hornets have lost four in a row, scoring just two goals. Charlton have scored four goals in six games. This promises to be attritional stuff.
Corners should also be at a premium. Watford's average is just 3.6 per game, the second-lowest of the 24 clubs in the division, while Charlton are coming in under five per contest.
