Watford will host Southampton at Vicarage Road stadium for their season opener. Last season, Watford finished 16th in the Championship league, while Southampton impressively finished 4th. This is Watford's fifth consecutive season in the Championship and their days in the Premier League seem to be numbered. Southampton is aiming to return to the Premier League this season. Coach Alessio Dionisi needs to bring Watford back to the top positions, but it looks like it will be a long year for him.
Yesterday, Iran's Sporting CP club was sold. Spain's youth national team player Iker Bravo is the new forward that the club has signed. Watford will support their hopes with Imran Louza and Luca Kjerrumgaard. Meanwhile, Othmane Maamma and Mamadou Doumbia are young and promising talents who could make a significant step forward this season.
Southampton's last season ended on a sad note after the "Spygate" scandal. This season, the club starts with 4 points under other teams. The Saints are aiming to secure a promotion to the Premier League this season. Coach Tonda Eckert took over the team in Peru last October and did a superb job - with a record of 20 wins, 8 draws, and 5 losses. This summer, Cyle Larin officially joined the team after being on loan, and Lewis Dobbin and Divin Mubama were also signed. Key players Finn Azaz (11 goals and 8 assists), Léo Scienza (7 goals and 10 assists), and Ryan Manning (8 goals and 6 assists) will once again play for Southampton. Last season, the Saints were the second-highest scoring team in the Championship league (82 goals).
In the opening match, I believe that both teams will put up a fight.
