Southampton - Watford betting tips and odds

A home win should not be questioned in this game. Southampton are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Watford and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.62.

Considering what they’re up against, The Hornets can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.75 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

The home team lost their previous home game, which was a bit of a surprise at the time. The odds were clearly in their favour, but they were unable to break the stalemate until the visiting team secured the deciding goal in the second half. More was expected from The Saints, and their supporters are hoping they’ll leave a better impression this time around.

Although Watford’s previous Premier League outing at Wolverhampton Wanderers was a crushing away loss, it’s hard to judge their form based on that performance alone. After all, they were out-classed by Wolverhampton Wanderers, who secured an early lead and a comfortable 4:0 victory in the end.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, The Saints’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

With 7 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, The Hornets’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

With just 19 points to their name after 29 games, the away team are in dire straits. Their chances of moving up the table seem very slim considering the 5.75 betting odds for them winning this round. They’ll need to do something soon if they want to do stay in the Premier League, though.

The Saints already have a victory over The Hornets on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Premier League, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 1.62. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
