Recent respective form guides

Queens Park Rangers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Rangers have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Watford's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Hornets's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Q.P.R. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 2 points from their 5 games thus far. Watford are leading the way in the Coca-Cola Championship, with their 6 games giving them a return of 15 points.
