Looking at the historical head - to - head records between Watford and Southampton, Southampton has a remarkable edge in corner kicks. In a previous EFL Championship encounter, Southampton defeated Watford 1 - 0 with a corner kick count of 3 - 9, clearly demonstrating the away team's strong corner - kick pressure. Another instance was when Southampton triumphed 3 - 2 at home, where the corner kick statistics were 6 - 3. In an FA Cup match, Southampton won 3 - 0 with 6 - 4 in corner kicks. These records show that Southampton has high - efficiency wing attacks and a consistently leading ability to create set - pieces. On the other hand, Watford has often struggled with corner - kick defense on the road. In the last three meetings, Southampton has dominated in corner - kick data, which reflects the stability of their tactical system. Although Watford managed a 2 - 2 draw at home once (with a corner kick count of 4 - 5), there are still weaknesses in their wing defense. This suggests that

Left-back Jordan Zemura is not fit enough to play 90 minutes heading into the Championship season. Martin Payero was absent from the squad that faced Crawley but could feature here. Expect Alessio Dionisi to bring Imran Louza into the starting XI on Sunday. Marc Bola scored nine minutes into second-half stoppage time last weekend as Watford squeezed past League Two side Crawley Town in the first round of the Carabao Cup. The Hornets will have to adapt to life after Giorgi Chakvetadze and Nestory Irankunda, but have recruited some exciting additions this summer. Southampton's 2025/26 season ended in disgrace as the Saints were thrown out of the play-offs following allegations of spying on multiple Championship sides. Tonda Eckert remains in charge, and the German will be looking to avenge last season's disappointment with a top-two finish this time around.
