Preston Preview – Can Preston get the home points?
There have been some recent troubles for Preston in the Championship as they have lost four of their last five.
On the weekend they were hammered 4-0 by Cardiff, leaving them with back to back defeats and a W1 L4 record in their last five.
The goals have dried up for Preston as they have failed to score in four of their last six league fixtures.
So even with home soil advantage that doesn’t look anything like a guarantee of three points for them from this game.
It has been a W4 D2 L9 record from Preston at Deepdale this season, so can’t lean on home form either.
In the match outright for football betting, Preston are the 17/10 favourites to get the win* (odds recorded 23:04 GMT February 22nd, 2021).
Looking at their current home form, however, Preston have taken one point from their last four home games.
In what sequence of games they have managed to produce just the one goal in total as well.
When they went to Loftus Road to face QPR earlier in this campaign, Preston did get a 2-0 success on the board.
We have to explore the lack of scoring by Preston a little bit more as they are averaging under a goal per home game this season.
But they haven’t been bad in defence, averaging a tiny shade over a goal per game against them.
So the natural inclination for championship football betting is to look under 2.5 goals which is a quote of 4/5* (odds recorded 23:04 GMT February 22nd, 2021).
Only a third of Preston’s home Championship games this season have gone above the goal line.
QPR Preview – Can the R’s keep their winning form going?
QPR are on a roll at the moment with a four-match winning streak having been produced.
On the weekend they got themselves a great three points at home against play-off hopefuls Bournemouth.
The last three league games that the R’s have had have been on home soil.
But they are still on a three-match winning streak of road form at the moment and are undefeated in six away from Loftus Road (W3 D3).
That just can’t be ignored and in the match outright a win for QPR is at 13/8* (odds recorded 23:04 GMT February 22nd, 2021).
QPR have only won four times on their travels this season but their current road form is right on the money.
The R’s have shipped only one goal in their last three away games and we have to note the level of opposition they have beaten in that sequence.
QPR’s last two away wins have been against Watford and Cardiff, both top-seven teams.

QPR therefore should be in with a good chance of rolling out another three points on Wednesday.
They certainly look good enough on the form to avoid defeat.
Of the wins that QPR have recorded this season home and away combined, eight of the ten have been by a one-goal margin.
The half time draw at 11/10 odds looks a decent proposition as well, as the R’s have been level at the break in 10 of 14 road fixtures* (odds recorded 23:04 GMT February 22nd, 2021).
Rangers appear to have really found their feet at the moment and pose a big threat to Preston at Deepdale.
