Queens Park Rangers - Watford predictions

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Queens Park Rangers on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

The visiting team knows that beating Queens Park Rangers on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Despite a home-field advantage and a slight edge in form, Queens Park Rangers went through a narrow 1:2 defeat against Cardiff City in the previous round. Their opponents took an early lead and never loosened their grip.

The away team narrowly avoided a loss in the previous round, scrounging out a 3:3 away draw. That was a sigh of relief for their supporters, though it’s worth mentioning that the 2.48 odds implied the matchup was relatively balanced.

Watford may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

Watford won this matchup last season, leading most bookies to mark them as the favourites this Sunday. More importantly, it was a very convincing victory, and they likely won’t be satisfied with anything less than a 2-goal lead again.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.16, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
