Ninth-placed Watford will be on the road against QPR when action in the Championship resumes after the international break. Hosts QPR arrive for this match sitting 12th, 10 points adrift of sixth, as both hope to at least secure playoff positions. Read on to find our prediction.
A run of four winless outings, conceding 12 goals and scoring none, was seen as Julien Stephan’s route out of QPR. However, a quick turnaround in the last two matches has seen attitudes change at Loftus Road.
The Hoops beat Leicester City 3-1 before completely turning the screw against Portsmouth ahead of the international break. A 6-1 win at home eased the pressure, and they will be targeting more of that here.
Watford are much closer to the playoff positions, being seven points behind sixth-placed Southampton. The Hornets went into the international break off the back of a 0-0 draw with Leicester City.
They have one win in their last four matches but only lost three times in the last 10 games. They will be looking to complete a league double against QPR, having won the first meeting 2-1 at home.
However, their trips to Loftus Road haven't been the most fruitful. Across the last seven visits, Watford were beaten four times and only managed two wins. Edward Still’s men have also managed just four away wins from 19 league outings.
