Watford vs Queens Park Rangers Free Betting Tips – Championship
What if Watford returned to the Premier League just a year after relegation? While we have just passed the mid-season, the Hornets are in 4th place in the Championship standings. The club’s objective is to finish 1st or 2nd, in other words, ranks that guarantee direct access to the Premier League. Watford is the best team in the championship at home (10 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw). After beating Huddersfield (2-0) and Barnsley (1-0) in their home stadium, the team trained by Xisco won in Stoke City (2-1) and could not do better than a draw on Tuesday on Millwall Field (0-0).
The immediate recovery targeted by Watford is a goal that QPR failed to achieve, relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2014-2015 season. Worse, the London club is now used to finding itself in the lower half of the Championship standings. The Hoops are currently in 18th place and are just 4 points ahead of relegation first Rotherham. Paradoxically, the Queens Park Rangers recently won in Luton (2-0) and Cardiff (1-0). The return to reality was abrupt on Saturday at home against the poorly classified Derby. QRP lost on the smaller of the margins (1-0).
The workforce for Watford vs Queens Park Rangers
For this meeting, 5 managerial players Ben Foster (goalkeeper), Dele-Bashiru, Quina, Success and Perica are still in the infirmary, while the return of Kabesele is hoped for. The starting defender remains uncertain as is important midfielder Ken Sema. On loan from Man U, midfielder James Garner (20 games, all the same, this season) leaves the club, as French midfielder Capua did at the start of the winter transfer window. The experienced and captain Deeney (6 goals), who has been at the club for 10 years, is the figurehead of this team. João Pedro (6 goals) and former Rennais Sarr (5 goals) are Watford’s other offensive weapons.
The Queens Park Rangers will travel without their midfielder Amos, injured for many months, while midfielder Tom Carroll will also be forfeited. Defenseman Lee Walace (9 games this season) is uncertain. The good news is the arrival at the club from Norwegian international midfielder Johansen, on loan until the end of the season by Fulham. The winger Osayi-Samuel (3 goals) has just been transferred to Fenerbahçe. Center forward Dykes has 5 goals in the current year as experienced Austin, a club player between 2013 and 2016, arrived on loan (from West Brom) this winter and has scored once in 3 games.
