There is a huge game on Saturday evening in the Premier League as the bottom two clubs meet at St Mary’s Stadium. Southampton and Watford will contest the final fixture of the day and both teams will be hoping to get a confidence boosting win.
As things stand ahead of the weekend, Southampton find themselves in 19th place with 9 points from 13 matches played. There is only one team below Southampton in the table and that's Watford, who have just 8 points from their 13 games.
Southampton come into this game having picked up a point in a 2-2 draw at Arsenal last weekend. On the face of it, this appears a good result but Southampton were leading 2-1 deep into injury time only to concede an equalising goal. That result means Southampton have won just one of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
They have picked up just 2 points from their last 8 Premier League games which is a very disappointing return. In addition to the draw at Arsenal last week, the only other point Southampton have picked up in the previous 8 matches came in a 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Trends show Southampton have lost each of their last 4 home Premier League games and picked up a just a single point from the last 18 points available at home. Both teams have scored in 10 of their last 11 home Premier League matches and the Saints need to improve defensively.
Watford managed to pick up a good 2-0 win at Norwich City prior to the international break which was a good boost to the team. However, they failed to capitalise on that result last weekend as they slumped to a 3-0 loss at home against Burnley. That result means Watford have won only one of their last 8 matches in all competitions.
The Hornets have won only one game in the Premier League this season and you must go back to the win at Huddersfield Town on the 20th of April to find the last time they won in the Premier League. Trends show Watford have won just 3 of their last 22 Premier League matches and one of their last 7 away from home.
Watford have kept just one clean sheet in their last 11 away Premier League games.
Team news and Southampton have doubts over Sam McQueen who is recovering from a knee injury but every other player should be available for this match.
Watford travel with fitness concerns over several players including Domingos Quina, Craig Dawson, Daniel Bachmann, Danny Welbeck, Sebastian Prödl, Tom Cleverley and Roberto Pereyra.
This is a big occasion for both teams who know a win could make a big difference to their chances of avoiding relegation this season. However, Southampton and Watford have been so inconsistent it would not be a surprise to see this one end in a draw with both teams scoring.
