While the eyes of the world fall in love with the Premier League every weekend, English soccer has other tournaments of great tradition that maintain the expectation from start to finish. The Championship is the waiting room for teams that want to reach the elite, and this March 11 will delight us with an attractive duel between QPR vs Watford.
The second division not only has teams with a good track record in British history, but also it is an exciting championship with two clearly marked fronts: on the one hand, those fighting for the title and the playoffs for promotion; on the other hand, those fighting to avoid relegation to League One.
The homeowners are close to the relegation zone, so it is imperative that it starts adding up, while Watford needs victories to get into the final stages for the second promotion to the Premier League.
Without further introduction, JefeBet offers the best odds, and predictions for QPR vs Watford, which will take place in London.

Betting on Queens Park Rangers Football Club
Queens Park Rangers’ campaign is quite concerning and is already in a dangerous territory. The London team has not won since December 17, when it beat Preston 1-0. Since then, it has gone on a losing streak of seven defeats and five draws.
It is among the four teams that conceded goals the most in the tournament, with 52 goals. QPR is placed 20th out of 24 teams, only 7 points above the relegation zone.
Gareth Ainsworth was forced to take over as the new head coach two weeks ago, as the London team underwent several crises. As soon as the new QPR DT took over, he discovered that many players were injured, such as Ilias Chair, perhaps his most important player, with 7 assists and 5 goals. It has also been without its two top scorers, Lyndon Dykes and Chris Willock (6 goals each), both of whom are injured.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Seny Dieng; Aaron Drewe, Robert Dickie, Jimmie Dunne, Osman Kakay; Tim Iroebugnam, Stefan Johansen, Sam Field; Albert Adomah, Chris Martin, Jamal Lowe.
Betting on Watford Football Club
Watford has not been brought back to reality after being relegated from the Premier last season, and have struggled greatly in the current Championship. However, even though it is possible to reach the playoffs, it will have to start winning.
Of the last eight games, it has only won one out of three (tied 5 and lost 2). This is very little for a team that aspires to return to the first division. In the last two matches, moreover, it did not score any goals.
Senegal’s Ismaïla Sarr is one of the top scorers with 9 goals (he scored 3 in the last 9 matches), and the other is Brazilian João Pedro (9), who has scored one in the last 6 matches.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Daniel Bachmann; Craig Cathcart, Ryan Porteous, Wesley Hoedt, James Morris; Imran Louza, Hamza Choudhury; Ismaïla Sarr, João Pedro, Ken Sema; Henrique Araujo.
JefeBet Prediction
Watford has shown a better performance and despite not being in its best moment of the tournament, it will clearly win against a QPR that went into a negative streak that seems difficult to stop.
Prediction: Watford wins 2 to 1.
