Watford v QPR
📅
Kick Off: Saturday 30th November at 12:30
🏆
Competition: EFL Championship
QPR travel to Watford on Saturday lunchtime having recorded just their second league win of the season on Wednesday night in Cardiff. That win moved them off the bottom of the Championship table, combined with Portsmouth’s floodlight issues. Watford are flying high at the other end of the table, currently in 5th place and unbeaten at Vicarage Road, with 7 wins and 1 draw.
⭐ Watford v QPR Best Bets
Watford are unbeaten at home, with 7 wins and 1 draw from their 8 games.
Tom Cleverley’s side are often involved in close games at home, having won their last 5 home games by a solitary goal, and an overall total of 6 out of 8 home matches by one goal.
QPR’s last three away defeats have all come by 2-0 scorelines, but with a bit of extra confidence following Wednesday’s win, they may be able to close the gap a little in terms of deficit.
👕 Watford v QPR Predicted XI
🔍 Watford v QPR Players to Watch
🟡 Ryan Porteous
Porteous had to be patient at the start of the season, as he was not an automatic selection in the side but has managed to establish himself on the right side of a back three in recent weeks. He is in good goalscoring form, with 2 goals in his last 4 games.
The Scotland international is full-blooded in his defensive style, if perhaps a little clumsy at times. Of the 9 games he has started in the league this season, he has picked up 6 yellow cards. He will be up against Koki Saito, who wins over 2 fouls per 90.
⚪ Zan Celar
It has been a long wait for Zan Celar to grab his first QPR goal, finally scoring in his 20th appearance for the club. As often happens, his second followed 51 minutes later, with a confident dink over the Cardiff keeper to seal a 2-0 victory.
The Slovenian striker is not someone who has struggled for goals at club level, notching 51 times for Lugano over the last three seasons. Up against a Watford side who give up the 4th highest xG against in the Championship, he will surely get a chance to follow up quickly in this game.

💻 Watford v QPR Form and Tactics
Watford have used a 3-4-3 formation as of late, and are a team that often rotates their starting lineup, with plenty of options throughout the side.
Striker Vakoun Bayo is a man in form, with 6 goals in his last 5 games for Watford. He’s not the prettiest to watch, but he is physical, speedy, and gets into good positions inside the box.
Marti Cifuentes went with a 4-2-3-1 set-up for their midweek win at Cardiff. This season has been a struggle for them, with the defensive solidity they displayed after Cifuentes’ arrival last season having escaped them so far this campaign somewhat, although their defensive underlying numbers still look quite solid.
