Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips

Southampton again defied the critics and the big-spending clubs in the English top flight last season as they finished in 6th place just three points behind the two Manchester clubs, City and United at the end of the last campaign.

However, the Saints will have their work cut out if they’re to replicate last season’s top six finish with the departure of influential midfielder Mane to Liverpool and striker Pelle to Chinese club Shandong.

The bulk of the goals will be expected to be the responsibility of attacking trio Long, Austin and Rodriguez and although Long and Rodriguez aren’t prolific goalscorers, they will link up well with Charlie Austin who has a chance to shine again with perhaps another chance of national selection.

Visitors Watford finished in the bottom half of the Premier League at the end of last season as they occupied what would have been a satisfying 13th place, having avoided relegation comfortably. If Watford harbour ambitions of securing a top half finish this time around, they’ll need to improve upon their away record.

Last season, the Hornets finished with an away record of  6-3-10  20/31 and they registered just two away wins from their last 11 away trips, which were wins gained at Crystal Palace 2-1 and West Brom 1-0, so there’s still plenty of work to do on their travels this season.

However, with strikers Deeney, Vydra and Ighalo, they will always stand a chance of hitting the back of the net wherever they play.
