QPR Preview – Can QPR win three on trot?
Recent back-to-back wins against Luton Town and Cardiff City, both away from home, not only ended a miserable run of nine matches without a win for QPR but also handed QPR manager, Mark Warburton, a stay of execution at the London club.
Five defeats from their prior nine matches had threatened to dump QPR into relegation trouble but the recent wins have helped lift The R’s up into 17th place in the Championship and more importantly, seven points above the bottom three.
However, a home record of 3-4-4 11/13 suggests a straight home win may be pushing it but eight of QPR’s 11 home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals and this looks the best option here.
Derby County Preview – Can Derby build on Cherries result?
Wayne Rooney picked up his first win as permanent manager of Derby County during the week when his Rams side secured a valuable three points with a 1-0 home win over high-flying Bournemouth which prevented a third loss on the trot for the visitors.
Results overall in recent times have picked up slowly for Derby County who have lost just three out of their last 11 matches, while Derby have tightened up at the back on their travels too, losing just one of their last four matches on the road.
An away record of 3-3-5 9/10 still requires improvement and an away win here seems unlikely but eight of Derby’s 11 away matches have also resulted in under 2.5 goals as well.
