Southampton take on the visitors Watford at the St. Mary`s Stadium in the 12th tour of the Premier League. The match will be played in the eponymous city Southampton on Saturday, November 10th.
Last tour Southampton was demolished by Manchester City with a 1-6 score. Interestingly, they conceded four goals in the first half of that game already and scored their own goal in the first half too. However, the playing style of the Saints on Saturday is likely to be completely different than it was last tour. The team of Mark Hughes has been having problems with their offensive line recently. In their last six Premier League fixtures they scored only one goal overall. It happened exactly last tour against Manchester City even though that goal was not logical at all. In response, the Saints conceded nine goals overall in their last four league games. However, they managed to concede zero in two of those fixtures. In their last three matches overall Southampton lost to Manchester City with a 1-6 score, drew against Newcastle United with a 0-0 score and against Bournemouth with the same 0-0 score. The Saints have also had a 1/16-finals fixture of the EFL Cup recently where they have beaten Everton in a penalty shootout.

Watford were great in the start of the 2018/2019 Premier League season. A lot of people predicted that the Hornets would be a new Leicester City but they started to fail with time. Now the team of Javi Gracia is on the eighth place in the league only with nineteen points to their credit after starting eleven tours. It`s worth noting that the Golden Boys have been trying to play safe in every away game they have had so far in the league. In their last five matches on the away fields there was zero with over 2.5 goals scored except for one against Burnley (3-1). Last tour the Yellow Army lost to Newcastle United with a 0-1 score on the away field exactly. Interestingly, there were only three attempts on goal in that game overall and one from the `Orns. In their last three matches Watford lost to Newcastle United with a 0-1 score, beat Huddersfield Town with a 3-0 score and Wolverhampton Wanderers with a 2-0 score.
Both Southampton and Watford need some points desperately right now. On the one hand, we have the Saints who need points in order to move away from the relegation zone. On the other hand, we have the Hornets who need points in order to get closer to the Eurocups zone. It is likely that the teams will play safe and will score only a few goals in the upcoming fixture between them on Saturday.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored.
