APWin experts have analyzed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Southampton win or draw

Even though Southampton will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Southampton to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Southampton does have its share of flaws, but Watford has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Southampton.

👉 Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners

Our top tip for Watford vs Southampton is to take advantage of the corners market, particularly taking the over on 9.5 corners. There is good value to be had in that bet, which is priced at 1.73.

Both teams need to combine for at least 10 corners to win the bet, which may seem like a lot. But based on their statistical profile for this season, we expect them to easily clear that mark in their upcoming matchup.
