Queens Park Rangers Preview – Can Rangers secure a second successive home win?

Queens Park Rangers made a fast start to their 2021-22 Championship campaign, winning three and drawing two of five. Rangers were also the form side at the back end of last season.

However, they had an alarming slump of form in the middle of September, losing to Bournemouth, Bristol City and West Bromwich Albion – all three games ended 2-1. The R’s bounced back with a massive three points on Tuesday, though, beating Lee Bowyer’s Birmingham City 2-0.

Our betting prediction:
Under 2.5 goals
10/11

QPR look a capable outfit these days, as Mark Warburton’s men have already beaten Hull City, Middlesbrough, Coventry City and Birmingham so far. Can the Londoners chalk up another three points at the weekend?

Preston North End Preview – Will the Lilywhites draw again?

Frankie McAvoy’s Preston North End have had a strange season so far. They made a dreadful start, crashing to defeats to Hull, Reading and Huddersfield Town in the early weeks.

Preston have certainly got their act together since and have made themselves extremely hard to beat. North End head to the capital unbeaten in seven in the Championship. Since home wins over Peterborough United and Swansea City at the end of August, the Lilywhites have drawn five league matches in a row.

Only Millwall have drawn more games in this term’s Championship so far, but a point in west London on Saturday would not be a bad result for McAvoy and his men. The bookies have the draw available at 13/5.

After those three straight defeats, QPR needed the points against Birmingham in midweek. Preston could do with a win after five successive stalemates, but McAvoy’s men have turned themselves into a tough nut to crack.

 

Key Facts – Queens Park Rangers vs Preston North End Betting Tip

  • QPR have taken just three points from the last 12 on offer
  • Preston have drawn five on the spin in the Championship
  • North End are unbeaten in nine in all competitions (four wins, five draws)

 

When these two teams last met, Preston and QPR played out a goalless draw at Deepdale in February. That was the first draw in this fixture since March 2016. We can see the two evenly matched teams cancelling each out at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium this Saturday. You can get the draw at 13/5.

Charlie Austin has scored three goals in his last six league and cup appearances for QPR. The veteran netted a brace in Rangers’ dramatic EFL Cup penalty shootout win against Premier League Everton recently. Austin was also on target in a 2-2 league draw with Barnsley in August. The 32-year-old is the 5/1 favourite to open the scoring in this one.
