Two teams that are eager to prove their presence in the 2015-2016 English Premier League, Watford FC (0-0-2, 2 points) and Southampton FC (0-1-1, 1 point), will meet at the Vicarage Road on Sunday to try and clinch their first ever win this season.
Watford, newly-promoted to the primary league after finishing as runners-up to AFC Bournemouth in the Football League Championship last season, is doing a decent job staying with EPL's veteran clubs as they drew their first two matches.
The Hornets opened the season with a 2-2 tie versus Everton, and then forced a goalless draw against West Brom last week, as per the Mirror.
Quique Sanchez Flores' squad may be lacking with big name players, but they execute well which makes them competitive even against the experienced teams of the league.
Southampton has not yet earned its first win of the young season as well, and they will try and get it with this match against the Yellow Army.
The Saints drew Newcastle United, 2-2, in their opener, then lost a big one to Everton, 0-3, last Saturday, via BBC Sport. It seems like Ronald Koeman's men are playing blind these days and there's no end in sight for their woes.
The predicted result is a close 1-0 win for Watford. The newbies will get their first EPL win in history.
