Recent respective form guides

Watford's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Hornets have scored 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Q.P.R.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Rangers's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Watford are holding the final promotion place in the Coca-Cola Championship, and have accumulated 44 points from the 24 games they have played so far. Q.P.R. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 24 points from their 24 games thus far.
