Queens Park Rangers Preview – Can the Hoops strike back with three points?
Queens Park Rangers are an unpredictable outfit these days. Michael Beale has had a mixed start to life as Rangers boss, as the London club have picked up one win, suffered two defeats and have drawn once.
They lost at Blackburn Rovers on the opening weekend of the season. However, the R’s bounced back with a superb 3-2 home success over Middlesbrough in game two. QPR scored two late goals to draw 2-2 at Sunderland in game three, though they were narrowly beaten at home by Blackpool in the last one.
The Hoops will be hoping to bounce back with a positive result after the midweek setback. They are the favourites at evens in this one.
Rotherham United Preview – Millers to keep up unbeaten run?
Rotherham United’s stay in the third tier lasted just one year, as Paul Warne’s men were promoted back to the Championship as League One runners-up last term. Keeping themselves in the division will be number one priority.
Rotherham have made a solid start, unbeaten in four league and cup games. After starting with a good 1-1 home draw with Swansea City, United beat Port Vale and Reading. In their last outing, the Millers held Preston North End to a goalless draw at Deepdale.
