Both sides will attempt to bounce back from disappointing defeats at the weekend, but for the winner the prize is a temporary spot in the play-off places.

The games come thick and fast in the Championship and although it appears that Newcastle and West Brom will run away with the automatic promotion spots, eight points separate the next 13 teams in a fiercely competitive league.

Recent form suggests that Watford are a completely different side at Vicarage Road to what they are on their travels. They have failed to score in their last three away games but haven’t conceded in their last two home fixtures. Whilst QPR have stuttered both home and away in recent weeks – a draw at home to Coventry came in the middle of disappointing defeats to Doncaster and Middlesbrough.

The odds suggest an evenly matched game but I think that fails to give Watford enough respect for their recent home record. Backing Watford at 2.7 (13/8) with Betfair looks to be where the shrewd money should go.
