These teams have tied (1‑1) in the last head‑to‑head for this edition of the league, played on 10‑11‑2018. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 3 head‑to‑heads they won 1 and tied 2. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Premier League, played on 13‑01‑2018, they tied (2‑2). A. Gray (58' ) and A. Doucouré (90' ) scored for Watford and J.

Analysis Watford

The home team faces Southampton, in a match for the 31 round, which had been delayed, after 14 wins, 7 draws and 13 losses in the league so far. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 22 conceded. For the league, Watford won 14 points out of 30 possible points, after 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 11 of the last 16 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 17 of their 34 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2.

Watford come to this game after a 1-2 away win over Huddersfield: Deulofeu scored twice in the match allowing his side to score three points. The hosts usually play in a tactical system in 4-4-2, privileging the fast transitions, mainly through the wings. One of the strengths of the home team is how they can react to a disadvantage. The coach will not be able to count on Domingos Quina, Holebas, Peñaranda and Cleverley for being injured. It should be noted that Deeney will also be out for being suspended.

Analysis Southampton

The away team faces Watford, in a match for the 31 round, which had been delayed, after 9 wins, 9 draws and 16 losses in the league so far. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 24 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Southampton has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (7 out of 17 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 34 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 17 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Southampton come to this game unmotivated after a 3-1 away defeat to Newcastle. Contrary to the opponent of this round, Southampton usually play in a 5-2-3, favoring a more offensive game where the three most advanced men are Sims, Ings and Redmond. The visitors usually practice a football in counterattacks, more disorganized, trying to take advantage of any mistake of the opponent. The coach should not be able to count on Obafemi and Vestergaard for being injured.
