Since then, 26 different coaches sat on the bench of the Rs. Also in the summer, the West Londoners changed once more the coach and hired the former England coach Steve McClaren. Its start went underground with four defeats and 13 goals conceded before the Rs could catch and in the fall only one of nine league games lost. Meanwhile, QPR is back in crisis. None of the past seven games could be won (0-2-5), this was last five bankruptcies in series.

The FA Cup season is also exceptional because QPR won only four FA Cup games this season in the past 21 years. Among them defeats such as in November 2002 in round 1 against Vauxhall Motors from the non-League, when the Rs themselves were third-rate and insolvent. There are already three Cup victories this season. 1997 was in the fifth round against Wimbledon final (1: 2). In the quarterfinals, the Rs stood for the last time in the 1994/95 season.

Watford – Statistics & Current Form

Last Saturday, Watford won the duel with Everton at Vicarage Road as “Marco Silva-Derby” 1-0. It was a contested game in which the Hornets in a duel against their former coach Silva the rising form of recent weeks could confirm. Still, Watford raises the question of whether the glass is half full or half empty. Watford are currently only two points away from Wolverhampton. The newcomer is currently “Best of the Rest”, because the Top Six will remain a closed society again this season. After a record start with six wins from the first ten Premier League games Watford celebrated in the 16 games since then only four wins (4-6-6). At the same time Watford lost from the past eleven Premier League games only against Chelsea and Tottenham (4-5-2). In addition, Watford played in three of the past four Premier League matches three times to zero, and thus remained as often without conceding as in the 21 league games before.

Since nothing can burn in the league, coach Javi Garcia would be well advised to send in the cup the best possible team in the race. Because the chance to get far in the cup, is great – especially in a currently weak form opponents such as the Hoops. Accordingly, quotas against Watford are not very high; However, according to our prediction, a tip on away wins is recommended, especially since Watford has been able to reach the quarter-finals in each of the last four seasons in the FA Cup. 2015 was then only in the semifinals end. A good omen for the Hornets is also the good record against unterklassige clubs in the FA Cup. Watford won seven of the past eight Cup games against lower class opponents. Only in 2017 there was a bankruptcy in the fourth round against Millwall. That is why it is advisable to follow our tip with QPR against Watford despite manageable quotas for Watford. As Holebas misses the next two league games due to yellow-barrier, coach Garcia will set him up well. Prödl, Pereyra and Success are injured.

Best goalscorers in the Premier League:

• 6 goals: Roberto Pereyra
• 5 goals: Troy Deeney
• 4 goals: Andre Gray

Expected formation of Watford:

• Gomes; Holebas, Cathcart, Mariappa, Janmaat; Sema, Capoue, Chalobah, Hughes; Gray, Deeney
• Coach: Javi Garcia

Last Games by Watford:

• 09.02.2019 – Watford Vs. Everton 1-0 (Premier League)
• 02.02.2019 – Brighton & Hove Albion Vs. Watford 0: 0 (Premier League)
• 30.01.2019 – Tottenham Vs. Watford 2: 1 (Premier League)
