QPR Prediction

QPR have dropped down the league standings to 11th place in the Championship following back-to-back draws with Reading and Aston Villa along with a 1-0 loss away at Sheffield United last time out at Bramall Lane.

However, on a positive note, the defeat to Sheffield United was QPR’s first league loss in six matches, a run that included wins against Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town along with points picked up in the two aforementioned draws.

QPR’s home record stands at 7-2-4 19/13 which at first glance doesn’t appear to be too impressive but the hosts have lost just once in their last eight matches at Loftus Road as The R’s have made steady improvement under manager Steve McClaren.

Midfielders Wszolek and Eze (4 goals apiece) have provided good goal support for the forwards Wells (6 goals), freeman (5 goals) and Hemed (3 goals) and the hosts look a reasonable bet to add to their points tally here.

 

Key-Facts – QPR v Preston North End

  • QPR have lost just once in their last 8 matches at Loftus Road
  • Preston North End are without a win from their last 5 matches
  • Preston North End have lost 3 of their last 4 away from home

 

Preston North End Prediction

Free-falling Preston North End now occupy a lowly position of 18th place in the Championship and have now gone five matches without a win which have left the visitors in the lower half of the division.

Fortunately for Preston, they’d previously strung together an impressive sequence of results which saw Preston lose just once in their previous 12 league matches in the second tier, but the wheels appear to have fallen off in recent weeks.

Recent defeats to Sheffield Wednesday, Hull City and Rotherham United along with draws against Aston Villa and Swansea City means that Alex Neil’s side have picked up just 2 points from a possible last 15 on offer.

Preston’s away record stands at a disappointing 2-3-8 10/22 which includes three defeats from their last four matches on their travels, and unless manager Alex Neil can come up with a ‘Plan B’ for his team soon, then he could be on the way out at the famous Lancashire club.

Betting Tips Verdict

QPR have been solid at home under McClaren and they should get something from this encounter.
