This week England - Coca Cola Championship matches
|
 London derby is not what it was the last season since both teams are without wealthy sponsor pools in Premier League from last year. With squads significantly weakened, they will do their best attempting to reach the upper part of the standings…
Hornets in front of new era
Although they have had better chances against Crystal Palace, all that Watford got is a point (0-0). Jobi McAnuf and John Eustace were best individuals in yellow shirt, and, although they didn’t win, Hornets were looking pretty encouraging. Manager Aidi Boothroyd will try to change his overaggressive system based on long crosses, and this change was evident at Selhurst Park already, featured by passing game and holding on the possession.
Combined Watford managed to go pass the first round of Carling Cup beating Bristol City (1-0) with a winner five minutes before the whistle. With the lack of players that have left the financially damaged Hornets, Boothroyd will now give chance to youngsters. Things in the offense are particularly bad since Darrius Henderson, Nathan Ellinghton and Steve Kabba have left the team, and plus Tamas Priskin nis injured. That is why the scorer at Rovers game, Will Hoskins, will get his new chance.
Addicks shocked by Carling Cup defeat
Charlton are another big team with weakened squad and with financial problems. This didn’t stop them from beating rookies, Swansea, (2-0) with skipper Mark Hudson scoring his first for the new club. Home side was lethal with set-pieces scoring two after the breaks, while the guests from Whales had better ball possession and passing play. Sending guest’s skipper, Garry Monk, off in 69 min was a great contribution for the win since after that Andy Gray only confirmed the win for Charlton.
After that, an embarrassment happened in Carling Cup with Charlton losing the game to Yeovil on the home ground (0-1), in the game where Alan Pardew tried out his combined squad. Addicks have missed a lot of chances at this game, while the guests have materialized their single opportunity. Darren Amrose (injury), Zheng Zhi (Olympics), are still unavailable, while first goalie, Nicky Weaver, is uncertain.
Betting verdict
This would’ve been a top rankings derby last year in the Premier League, but this year only brought budget cuts and top players’ sales, which puts their achievements in shadow for this season. Both kicked off well in the league, but the Cup shock might have some impact on Charlton. This is a tight game with two evenly weakened teams , so we would advise you to carefully go for draw here.
