Watford vs Southampton
Watford host Southampton in the Premier League postponement match. This will be a good opportunity for Watford to take 7th place from the hands of Everton.
Watford’s dream to be able to feel the heat of European competition is now in front of his eyes. Not only the opportunity through the FA Cup, where if Watford beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final then the ticket to the Europa League will be them.
If it fails in the FA Cup, Watford also still has the hope of appearing in European competition by finishing at least ranked 8. Watford himself is currently ranked 8th with a collection of 49 points. Watford themselves only lost on goal difference from Everton at 7th place, meaning that if they were able to earn perfect points or draw then Watford automatically went up to 7th.
A clear draw is not an option for Watford. Moreover, their chances of winning the game against Southampton in the middle of this week are quite open. Apart from being able to get full support from Vicarage Road’s public, Watford’s confidence was quite good, where in their last match they successfully defeated Huddersfield with a score of 2-1.
However, Watford is still required to be careful. Because, Southampton is also certain not to want to go home empty-handed from this fight. Southampton are also in need of points to stay away from the relegation zone which is currently only 5 points from the position they occupy. This forced Southampton to play all out to at least take home one point from Vicarage Road later.
In addition, Southampton are also not easy opponents for Watford. In fact, in the last 7 meetings Watford were only able to win once and had to lose 3 times to Southampton. Even at Vicarage Road, Watford have never won in the last 5 matches against Southampton, where 2 of them ended in defeat.
Our Prediction: 1
Odds: 2.25
