Prediction: 1-1
Southampton
Watford play host to Southampton at their Vicarage Road in a highly-anticipated Championship game on Saturday afternoon. The start of the season has been a mixed bag for Watford, with the team losing to Charlton, beating QPR, while sharing the spoils with Swansea. The Hornets are tough to beat at home, but they will have a big fish to fry against the promotion hopefuls. Defender Max Alleyne is rated doubtful for the home side after picking up a knock in the last league match.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling EFL Cup win (3-0) over Norwich City. Southampton, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from the Vicarage Road clash. Both James Bree and Will Smallbone are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Team (Southampton):
Southampton are an English football club that have been playing their home games at St Mary's Stadium since 2001. The Saints were based at The Dell in the past and the capacity of Southampton’s new stadium is 32,505. Southampton wear red and white striped shirts and the colour of the team’s away kit is navy and green.
The Saints have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to clinch the FA Cup title back in 1976, while participating in the final of the prestigious competition in 1900, 1902 and 2003. Southampton outplayed Manchester United in the 1976 FA Cup final and that is probably the club’s greatest victory ever.
The club are well known for their football academy and Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale is one of the players who began their football carrier at the St. Mary’s Stadium outfit. Southampton’s fiercest rivals are Portsmouth and the two teams square off against each other in the South Coast Derby.
