Queens Park Rangers Preview – Will the Hoops remain unbeaten?
Queens Park Rangers have made a strong start to their Championship season, unbeaten in all four games thus far. Mark Warburton’s men could be dark horses in the promotion race this term, and the R’s kicked off their league campaign with wins over Hull City and Middlesbrough after drawing with Millwall.
Last weekend, Rangers found themselves 2-0 down to Barnsley at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium. Ilias Chair pulled one back with 14 minutes to go and Charlie Austin rescued a point at the death. QPR have also secured EFL Cup wins over Leyton Orient and Oxford United.
QPR have won four and drawn two of their opening six league and cup matches this season, and the London side will be hoping to extend their undefeated run this Saturday.
Coventry City Preview – Sky Blues to leave London with a positive result?
Coventry City have arguably been the surprise package in the early weeks of the Championship season. The Sky Blues have returned to their home and won both league matches at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
They came from behind to beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 on the opening weekend. They suffered a setback in game two, losing 1-0 at Barnsley, but have struck back with wins over Blackpool and Reading. Mark Robins’ men are flying high in fourth spot at present.

Key Facts – Queens Park Rangers vs Coventry City Betting Tip
- QPR have won three of the last four meetings
- Rangers are unbeaten this season, winning four and drawing two
- Coventry are fourth in the Championship after three wins from four
These two have both started extremely well, and we could be in for a close game in the capital this Saturday. However, we fancy unbeaten Rangers to nick a narrow victory in front of their home supporters. Back the Hoops to win by one goal at 11/4.
Coventry have scored in four of their five league and cup matches this season. We are backing Robins’ troops to find the net in London, so take a punt on the QPR win and both teams to score at the decent odds of 7/2.
