Queens Park Rangers form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Queens Park Rangers have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 8 defeats from 17 games. Queens Park Rangers are slowly digging their own grave here at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts.

The club members are hoping that Queens Park Rangers will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the match against Rotherham United (placed 18th). Dieng had a busy but productive day in the Rotherham United match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Lowe, who usually features in attack, was the top performer for the side in that fixture, and was presented with a rating of 7.42 (out of 10). Lowe scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Preceding that match was the home game against Blackburn Rovers that was lost 1-3.

Sports bettors should know that 8 of the most recent 10 league games from these players have had goals from both teams.

The manager Ainsworth will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Blackpool in only three days.

QPR has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 17 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 26 goals have been conceded.

Watford form and stats

5-7-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Watford in their Championship matches away.

Watford have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 192 minutes ago. Sema was the goal scorer.

Watford's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Preston North End that finished 0-0. Hoedt, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.8. Hoedt won 13 of 14 duels.

Prior to that match, the Watford manager Bilić faced defeat when travelling to Sheffield United and losing 0-1.

Low on goals? 14 of this club's latest 17 league fixtures have had two or less goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Watford are hosting Birmingham City in the Championship only three days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Watford as they have only managed to score 17 times from 18 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Watford have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Watford - Queens Park Rangers 2-3 was the product when this pair of squads previously did battle, earlier this season. Last ten meetings with these teams: QPR won five, Watford triumphed in three and we saw two draws. four games with more than 2,5 goals, six matches with less than 2,5 goals.
