Watford vs. Southampton

Watford has a decent offense (12 goals scored in nine matches), but they're ranked #14 in the 20-team English Premier League standings because of a terrible defense (17 goals surrendered). That's the third-most allowed. They come off a 5-2 rout of Everton where that offense was clicking, but that came one game after getting blown out, 5-0, by Liverpool, and five of their last nine home games have gone OVER 2.5 goals. 16th-ranked Southampton pays a visit with a defense that has allowed 12 goals in nine games. The defense struggles away from home, allowing eight goals in five road contests. 15 of their last 22 goals games have sailed OVER 2.5 goals. The last two meetings have been 3-1 and 2-1 finals, and this looks like a battle with far more offense than stellar defense. Take the OVER.
