NOT the easiest of cards tonight and having looked through the French Ligue 2 matches it's incredibly difficult.
Matches at the moment have been extremely low scoring and picking teams to win even tougher as the league has turned into the draw specialists.
Last week saw the lowest goals total this season with all 8 matches going under with only 7 teams managing to win a game in the last three weeks. Leaving it alone this week (que the goal rush) and focusing on matters closer to home.
QPR vs Watford (7.45pm)
It's FA cup action from Loftus Road and its a much welcome distraction from league business for Steve McClaren's QPR side.
The hosts have lost their last 5 league games conceding 13 goals in the process and took a couple of hiding in those games. The only bit of joy Rangers fans have had recently was the 2-0 cup win against Portsmouth last week hence their meeting tonight with Watford.
It must be a big concern for McClaren the ease in which their defence is being breached, they conceded 4 in the first half against Birmingham on Saturday but to their credit fought back and should have earned a draw if not for a 90th-minute missed penalty. They then collapsed to 2 late goals to Bristol City on Tuesday.
Been no shortage of goals at Loftus Road with 6 of the last 7 seeing 3 or more goals and although this is a cup game and both sides will make changes. Watford despite being an EPL side, you'd fancy QPR to score against them (they have done so in 14 of their last 16 home games).
I've been backing late goals at QPR for a while now and posted that to happen in their last two games (both of which obliged) on that again tonight.
Recommended Bets:
- Over 2.5 match goals (21-20, sportingbet) (NAP)
- Goal scored after 72 mins (5-6)
- May get a better price inplay and earlier goal time

Despite my comments on French Ligue 2 I'll still be on the 40-1 goal in the first half and 22-1 all over 1.5 goals. Shop around as you may get better prices elsewhere.
