QPR v Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips
QPR have been a pretty reliable team on home soil in the Championship lately, having picked up four wins in their last five at Loftus Road. So they have some form going and that will put some pressure on Wednesday, who are in much more desperate need of the three points from this game. Rangers lost 1-0 at Hillsborough against Wednesday earlier in the season but may be backed to turn that around, as they are unbeaten in their last four games at home against Sheffield Wednesday (W2 D2). A 1-1 correct score at Bet365 is trading at 11/2 while the 0-0 draw is running at a price of 10/1. QPR’s winning streak at home was just stopped by Brighton in their last home fixture and they were sticking in there at half-time in that game. A half-time draw at Bet365 is going to be value at a quote of 6/5.
Sheffield Wednesday took an important home win over Newcastle recently in the league and they managed to follow that up with a victory over Rotherham in their last away fixture. The Owls have taken just two wins in their last four games out on the road in the league and their form has been pretty patch since about mid-February and that has seen their play-off push become a little weaker. But they are still in a position to get in there but it’s been awhile since they took three points at Loftus Road. Wednesday are on an eight-match winless streak out on the road at QPR now (D5 L3) but there is enough in that head to head perhaps to see the Owls land themselves a point. Steven Fletcher bagged both goals in their recent 2-0 win out at Rotherham and he is trading at a price of 11/5 in the anytime goalscorer market. Under 2.5 goals at Bet365 is a price of 5/2 as only 29% of Wednesday’s away games have gone over the mark.
