Current streaks

Recent form

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable unbeaten run of four matches (WWDW) prior to their most recent defeat. The Hoops have demonstrated resilience at home, securing two convincing victories against Preston and Norwich, the latter being a particularly impressive 3-0 win. Their away form has been less consistent, with a heavy 3-0 loss to Swansea interrupting what could have been a longer unbeaten streak. Despite their 17th position in the league, QPR have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six matches and have maintained a positive goal difference of +3 during this period. Their goal-scoring record has been steady, averaging 1.5 goals per game, whilst their defence has tightened up, conceding only one goal per game on average. Interestingly, half of their recent matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, suggesting a balanced approach to their play.

Watford

Watford have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Hornets have struggled to maintain consistency, alternating between positive and negative results in their last four matches. Despite their 6th position in the Championship, Watford's goal difference stands at zero, having scored and conceded an equal number of goals (7) across these six games. Their defensive record is a concern, as they've gone five games without a clean sheet, with their last coming in a goalless draw against Queens Park Rangers. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of these matches, suggesting Watford are involved in entertaining contests. The trend towards higher-scoring games is evident, with 67% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals, although none could be classified as particularly high-scoring.

Recent home/away form

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have shown a remarkable turnaround in their home form, currently enjoying a three-match winning streak at Loftus Road. This impressive run has seen them score seven goals whilst conceding just one, including a commanding 3-0 victory over Norwich. Prior to this upturn, QPR had a mixed bag of results, with two draws and a heavy 4-1 defeat to Middlesbrough, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter. The R's have been solid defensively at home recently, keeping three clean sheets in their last six matches. Despite their overall league position of 17th, QPR's recent home performances suggest they're becoming a formidable force on their own turf, with their goal-scoring average of 1.5 per game at home demonstrating an improvement in their attacking prowess.

Watford

Watford's recent away form in the Championship has been inconsistent, with the Hornets struggling to find consistent success on the road. They have managed just one win in their last six away matches, suffering three defeats and securing two draws. Notably, their sole victory was a high-scoring affair, thrashing Sheffield Wednesday 6-2, which significantly boosted their goal tally. Despite this, Watford have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their recent away games, conceding in all six matches. The team's matches tend to be entertaining for neutrals, with 67% of their away games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of the fixtures. While Watford's attacking prowess is evident, averaging 1.83 goals per game away from home, their defensive frailties are a concern, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per match on their travels.
