Southampton take on Watford in a Championship clash where both sides aim to maintain momentum. As both sides should be happy with one point from the match, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Saints come off a solid 2-0 win over Stoke City and boast a respectable home record, averaging 1.5 goals per game at St Mary’s and conceding just 0.75 goals per match. Key players Edozie and Romeu are doubtful, while Roerslev Rasmussen remains unavailable. Southampton have scored in 80% of home games and have a 30% clean sheet rate overall.
Watford have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team drawing three of their last five games and suffering from the absence of forward Nestory Irakunda, though he is not a first-team regular. The Hornets score 1 goal per game on average and concede 1.2 goals, with both teams scoring in 60% of away fixtures. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
H2H data shows Southampton hold the upper hand with 10 wins in the last 23 meetings, while 10 ended in draws. As 83% of H2H matches saw at least two goals, Over 1.5 goals seems like a sure bet, with additional value on BTTS and Southampton or Draw.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 7 February 2026 at 12:31.
