Queens Park Rangers, coming off a draw in their league opener against Preston, will need to improve their defensive stability ahead of their next match against Watford in the Championship. Their previous games show inconsistent form, with a mix of losses and draws. Watford, also struggling recently with multiple losses, will present a tough challenge.
Historically, recent head-to-head matches between Watford and Queens Park Rangers have been closely contested.
