Get £40 in Free Bet Bets for our Watford vs Southampton Bet Builder

Southampton are looking to kick off where they left off last season as their Championship promotion push gets underway at Watford this weekend.

The Saints were one of the biggest stories in English football last season when their play-off campaign was cut short amidst a "spygate" scandal that may yet still cost manager Tonda Eckert his job. They came 4th last season and will fancy themselves as one of the play-off favourites this time around.

Watford, meanwhile, are hoping to improve on a 16th place finish last season but with an unknown manager at the helm and an erratic ownership, anything could happen.

Southampton To Win

Southampton came 4th last season and ended the campaign like a freight train, losing only one game (Manchester City in the FA Cup) from 21st January onwards. Watford, on the other hand, finished 16th and were winless in their last eight games. Southampton have also dominated the recent head-to-head meetings, winning three and drawing one of the last four.

Cyle Larin To Score Anytime

Cyle Larin enjoyed a fine loan spell at St. Mary's in the second half of last season, scoring eight goals in 16 games in the league. With his loan move now permanent, Larin scored in his EFL Cup debut last weekend and will fancy his chances of adding to his Saints tally here.

Hector Kyprianou To Be Carded

Hector Kyprianou had one of the highest booking rates of any player in the Watford squad last season, averaging 0.38 cards per 90. The midfielder also averaged 1.51 fouls per 90, one of the higher rates in the squad.

Flynn Downes To Be Carded

Flynn Downes was both Southampton's most-carded player and one of the most carded players in the league last season, accumulating 12 bookings in the league. The midfielder also committed more fouls (56) than any other Saints player last season.
