Recent respective form guides

Queens Park Rangers have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.

Watford's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Q.P.R. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 50 points from 44 matches. Watford are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 77 points from 44 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Rangers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Hornets come away with an easy victory. Away win

Q.P.R. Failed to win in previous 5 home matches.
Not won in the 9 most recent games.
Watford Not won in previous 2 away matches.
