Watford started the season poorly with back-to-back defeats, including a 1-0 loss to Charlton and a 2-1 EFL Cup defeat against Norwich. However, they bounced back with a 2-1 home win over QPR and followed it with a 1-1 draw away at Swansea. Those four points have lifted them to 12th place, and with momentum on their side, the Hornets will look to capitalize on home advantage against the Saints.

Southampton’s return to the Championship hasn’t been dominant, as they’ve collected just four points from their first three league games (W1, D1, L1). They were beaten 2-1 at home by Stoke last weekend, but responded with a morale-boosting 3-0 win away to Norwich in the EFL Cup midweek. Their away form looks strong, with two wins and a draw from three competitive trips this season, making them dangerous visitors.
MatchPlug Prediction for Watford vs Southampton
Southampton have scored in every competitive match this season, while Watford are improving after a slow start. Both sides are evenly matched with identical league records, making this a game where goals should be expected.
