QPR welcome Watford to Loftus Road this Sunday, where they will look to end their poor run of form. However, when the two sides met earlier in the season, the Hornets won 4-0.
QPR
The Hoops have struggled massively this season, highlighted by the fact they haven’t won in seven matches. QPR are also second from bottom in the league, winning just five of their 26 games.
QPR are the joint lowest scorers in the league, netting just 0.81 games per game on average. Yet they’re also poor defensively, conceding 1.42 goals per game.
However, they will take confidence from their 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth last weekend. The Hoops took a two-goal lead, but quality prevailed after the break.
Watford
The Hornets are in contention for a playoff spot based on their current position in tenth, four points off sixth. Despite that, Watford have been rather inconsistent, which could cost them further down the line.
Watford have been dangerous in attack this season, scoring 1.62 goals on average this season. They have also been rather defensively secure, conceding just 1.38 per game.
Last time out, the Hornets completed a second-half comeback to beat Chesterfield 2-1 in the FA Cup. However, they were vulnerable throughout, and they didn’t fully deserve the win.
Verdict?
Watford will be confident that they can pick up three points this weekend, however, they’ve only won four of their 12 away games.
Yet with the difference in recent form, everything points towards a Watford win.
The final prediction is QPR 0-2 Watford.
