Southampton - Watford predictions

With the odds set at 1.42 for a home win, Southampton winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Watford fans are expecting them to triumph at Southampton this Saturday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

The Saints are coming off from a 2:1 HT/FT victory. It might not be the result goal-hungry fans would have expected but the hosts still head into the Saturday clash in good spirits.

Watford are coming off from a 0:0 draw in an away game at Ipswich Town. The odds on Ipswich Town winning were a stunningly low 1.47, however, which means that the tie was a positive outcome for Watford.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

The previous two Championship clashes played ended with either one goal on the board or none at all. That doesn’t make for exciting viewing, but it can signal a decent Under 5 Goals opportunity.

These teams already met earlier in the season, and the outcome was inconclusive. The Saints supporters are hoping the fact they’re playing on home turf will be enough to break the stalemate and win this time – and most bookmakers believe it will be.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

A Home Win bet is the obvious answer here, especially at the odds of 1.42. While the returns won’t be as great, the bet is as safe as they come.
