Watford vs QPR Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the English Championship on Saturday, 05 August 2023.
Watford are set to host QPR at Vicarage Road Stadium to kick off their Championship season. Watford has had a subpar preseason thus far. They will, however, aim to begin the season on a positive note after finishing 11th last season.
Their opponents, QPR, have begun the season with a number of mixed preseason performances in an attempt to improve on their 20th-place position from last season.
The last time these two clubs met was in March. QPR managed to deliver a 1-0 win that day.
QPR are on a four-game unbeaten streak against this opposition. They have also won this fixture on three of those occasions.
We are counting on QPR to pull off a win here. They have a respectable form heading into this one. Three of their past five matches have ended in victories.
Watford, on the other hand, has only played three preseason matches and has failed to win any of them. They have also lost many of their key players throughout the transfer window, including Ismaila Sarr and Joao Pedro.
Moreover, QPR also has an excellent h2h record in the recent history of this matchup.
We expect goals in this match. Watford saw more than 2.5 goals in three of their past six home games as well as their most recent outing. Also, three of QPR’s past five matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, the last two h2h meetings between these two at this ground have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive performance thus far. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in both of their past two matches. While the visitors have also failed to keep clean sheets in five of their past six matches.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
QPR are in respectable preseason form heading into the match. They have won three of their past five matches. They also have an excellent recent record against Watford. Furthermore, Watford are in poor shape going into the match.
QPR to win or draw at 1.83 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Furthermore, the both teams to score odds of 1.83 look quite attractive. Given both clubs’ strong attacking prowess and recent goal participation at both ends of the pitch.
