Watford vs QPR Prediction & Betting tips
Watford has good chances in the championship promotion race and wants to return to the Premier League! Against QPR is now a mandatory task, because the guests from London are deep in the relegation battle. But caution is still required. Because the quality density is enormous in the championship, even relegation candidates can cause a surprise at any time.
Overall, however, the bookmakers see the host and fourth place in the lead. This is underpinned before the game Watford against QPR by the odds of the best betting providers, who unanimously see the host as the favorite.
Of course, being a favorite is not enough, the team has to be convincing on the pitch. Both teams can use the points very well. The game on Vicarage Road starts on Monday evening at 19:45 p.m.
Watford:
Watford is fighting for promotion to the Premier League. The team of coach Xisco, who has only been in office for a few weeks, is currently in fourth place in the championship table and has contact with the top. Only league leaders Norwich City are already a little behind with seven points. Behind, however, an exciting race is raging in which Watford has good chances.
The hosts are in good shape and recently got ten points from four games. This also made an impression on the bookmakers, because before the game Watford against QPR, the odds suggest that the hosts are favorites.
Watford is a team that is extremely compact. The hosts do not stand for spectacle, 30 goals have been scored in the 26 games so far. There is still room for improvement, but the defense is very good with 18 goals against. Only Swansea conceded fewer goals.
The hosts now hope to be able to chase second-placed Swansea with another win. Watford is particularly strong at home, winning ten of their 13 home games. This makes the Xisco-Elf by far the best home team in the championship.
Due to this good record and the very good form of the hosts, our forecast before the Watford game against QPR is that Watford will achieve a home win. It is also important that Watford has little to complain about injuries. With Dele-Bashiru and Success, only two players are currently not available.
Against QPR, the most important thing will be the defense, which has been the key to success in recent weeks. Watford has only conceded one goal in the last four games, that can be built on. Offensive, not one player is the focus, as several attackers are able to score goals. Deeney and Joao Pedro, for example, have six goals and Sarr has five goals.
QPR :
The emotional world at QPR is a little different than at the host Watford. The guests from London are only in 19th place in the championship and have 27 points in their account. The lead on the first relegation place is only four points, so the guests currently have to look down.
With 31 goals conceded, QPR has the fifth worst defensive in the league, the offensive cannot hide these problems. So it is hardly surprising that before the game Watford against QPR the betting odds speak a clear language and do not trust the guests too much.
At least the slightly rising shape curve is a little encouraging. QPR won two of the last three games in the league, but the last time they were down against Derby County was a relatively bleak 1-0. The hope now is that successive steps forward can be made.
A look at the statistics shows that QPR scores just as well away as at home with an average of 1.08 points. An away weakness can therefore not be recognized, three of the six wins of the season were abroad. Recently, QPR tried to better adjust to the opponents, the system often varied, sometimes with a three-way and sometimes with a five-way chain.
A relatively defensive approach can also be the method of choice against a freezing Watford. More support for the shaky defense certainly doesn’t hurt. Nevertheless, overall not that much speaks for the guests, which is why our tip before the game between Watford and QPR is that the hosts will take the three points with them.
