Watford will win

Although Watford suffered an early exit in the Carabao Cup a few days ago, they've actually enjoyed a good run of form this season. As a matter of fact, the Hornets were unbeaten in seven matches prior to that loss, with three wins and four draws. Watford currently occupy the second spot on the Championship table, just one point behind league leaders Sheffield United. In contrast, Queens Park Rangers have not enjoyed the same form recently; they've lost four of their last seven matches, with a win and two draws. With both teams' recent form in mind, we are confident that Watford will take all the points here.

Goals could be in short supply

Watford have been one of the best defensive sides in the Championship this season; they've allowed just two goals in five matches, only one team has conceded fewer goals so far. Because of their stingy defence, most of Watford's matches have been low-scoring games; as all of their last seven matches saw less than three goals scored. Similarly, QPR have had their fair share of low-scoring games; as three of their last four matches went under 2.5. Considering four of the last five clashes between these teams went below the 2.5 goal line, we shouldn't expect a lot of goals here.

Will Watford win this all-London clash?

Watford might have the big boys circling for their star players but that hasn't stopped them making a solid start to life back in the Championship. Whilst things are going well for the Hornets though, the same cannot be said for fellow London side QPR. They're struggling for results in a big way. It seems like a home banker but it's up to the away side to prove us wrong.

Watford are coming off a disappointing Carabao Cup exit at the hands of League One side Milton Keynes Dons; despite having almost two-thirds of the possession, the Hornets were unable to find the net. However, it's important to note that Watford have been one of the best teams in the Championship this season; they are second on the table, one of three unbeaten sides, and they'll look to maintain that record here.

Watford Predicted lineup – Bachmann, Kabesele, Sierralta, Cathcart, Kamara, Choudhury, Kayembe, Sarr, Asprilla, Bayo, Manaj

Queens Park Rangers have struggled to find their best form of late; they've managed just one win in six matches across all competitions, with two draws and three losses. It's worth noting that QPR have no wins in their last four matches; they'll hope to put an end to that unwanted streak as they square off against Watford.

QPR Predicted lineup – Dieng, Laird, Dickie, Dunne, Paal, Field, Johansen, Roberts, Chair, Willock, Dykes
