Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormLosing 2-1 home to Cardiff City won't leave the Queens Park Rangers squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. They came away from that fixture with 64% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Cardiff City managed 10 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Martí Cifuentes where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. Hoever, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 7 in the same period. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have conceded a goal in 9 of their 12 games at home this season.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Watford, Recent FormWatford manager Valérien Ismaël will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 3-3 draw in his team's last league outing against Plymouth Argyle. Their share of possession in that meeting was 59%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Plymouth Argyle had 30 shots on goal with 11 on target.
Whilst Ismaël will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games overall.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Edo Kayembe is the man of the moment at Watford right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
The last time these two teams met Watford enforced their superiority over Queens Park Rangers with a comfortable 4-0 win.
The Hornets have some indifferent league form when it comes to away matches against QPR; they have shipped at least 1 goal in their last 5 games away to them.
In this away league fixture, Watford has not won in the last 3 times they have played QPR at Loftus Road Stadium.
There is only really one injury concern for the QPR manager Martí Cifuentes ahead of this clash, with Jack Colback (Muscle) missing out, which gives Cifuentes a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Jamal Lewis (Hamstring) and Jeremy Ngakia (Broken ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Valérien Ismaël will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
