Both teams have scored in each of Watford’s last five Championship games.
Both teams have scored in three of QPR’s last four fixtures.
QPR have drawn four of their last nine matches.
Hoops hope for New Year’s Day success
QPR played out a 1-1 draw at Norwich in their final game of 2024, and they may begin 2025 in the same way when they welcome Watford to Loftus Road on New Year’s Day.
The Hoops, who sit ten places and 11 points below Wednesday’s visitors, have played out four draws in their last nine Championship fixtures, three of which have been 1-1 stalemates.
Goals at both ends backed at Loftus Road
Watford ended the year with a 2-1 defeat at home to Cardiff and are winless across their last four away games, but two of those have ended all square and they should be able to get a point against Marti Cifuentes’ side.
That defeat to the Bluebirds was the fifth successive Watford game in which both teams have scored, and the same can be said of three of QPR’s last four outings, so that looks a solid bet to open the year with alongside a 1-1 correct score prediction.
