Southampton & Watford meet on Match-day 29

This Sunday sees Soton go head to head with Watford at St. Mary’s Stadium – Kick-off 3:00pm GMT.

It’s a clash of tenth vs nineteenth, as Soton host Watford at St. Mary’s Stadium.

Southampton have 35 points to their name, going into this tie

Soton come to this match on the back of a 4-0 away loss against Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Also, Soton keep finding ways to win, having secured three victories in their last five meetings is astonishing this season. With 35 points, they currently sit tenth in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 8 wins, 9 losses and 11 draws having won eight matches, drawn 11 games, and lost nine fixtures.

When Soton host Watford, they will do so on the back of five victories, seven draws, and one losses on their own ground.

Victory for Southampton would take their points tally to 38 so far this season.

Soton are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Ralph Hasenhuttl is concerned that Sunday’s fixture could see him without three of his key players.

Watford under pressure for a result as they go to fancied Southampton on Sunday

The warning signs are there for Roy Hodgson going into this game, following a loss to Arsenal in their last game and a draw against Manchester United before that. Only a positive result will be good enough.

Also, With 13 defeats in the last 18 fixtures, Roy Hodgson’s Watford are justifiably in the bottom half of the table, very much looking at a relegation battle. With a nineteenth position in the league and 5 wins, 19 losses and 4 draws, they currently have 19 points in the League having won five meetings, drawn four games, and lost 19 matches.

It must be a worrying prospect for Watford to go back on the road, with a bud run of away performances under their belt this season. So far they have only secured three wins, three darts, and seven defeats to the home team.

A win in this fixture would take Watford’s points to 22 in the League.

Injury and illness have depleted Roy Hodgson’s Watford and they will likely be missing three key personnel for Sunday’s match.
