Queens Park Rangers Preview – Can QPR secure a home win on Saturday?
Mark Warburton has had a topsy-turvy first season at Queens Park Rangers. The R’s were battling for the top six in the early part of the season, but inconsistency has been their Achilles heel this term.
With four fixtures left, QPR find themselves down in 14th place on 53 points. Rangers will not be going up or down, so they can already start preparing for another season in the Championship. Overall, the London club have won 15, lost 19 and drawn eight of their 42 league matches.
QPR have been pretty average at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium this season. Warburton’s side have won eight and lost eight at home, drawing the other five. Rangers have lost two on the bounce on their own patch.
After a good 1-0 win at Middlesbrough last weekend, QPR fell to a disappointing 1-0 loss at Wigan Athletic on Wednesday. Can the Hoops hit back with three points on home soil this Saturday?
Sheffield Wednesday Preview – Fourth straight defeat for Monk’s Owls?
Like Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield Wednesday have also had a mediocre campaign. Garry Monk’s men were in the play-offs over the festive period, but they have been on a dreadful run since the turn of the year, winning just three Championship matches in 2020.
Since an impressive 2-1 win at Bristol City at the end of last month, Wednesday have crashed to three consecutive Championship defeats. The Owls have lost to West Bromwich Albion, Swansea City and Preston North End, shipping eight goals in the process.

Despite picking up seven away wins, Sheffield Wednesday have been beaten ten times on the road. Only nine clubs have suffered more away defeats in this season’s Championship. Monk’s men have claimed just one away win in seven, losing four and drawing two of the other six.
Sheffield Wednesday are down in 16th on 52 points with four games to play. After three defeats on the spin, can the club from the Steel City stop the rot this weekend with a positive result in the capital?
Queens Park Rangers vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Advice
Back in August, Jordan Hugill was on target twice in a 2-1 win for QPR at Hillsborough. Rangers have an excellent recent record over the Owls, winning each of the last four league meetings. However, Wednesday picked up a 2-1 win at Rangers in the Emirates FA Cup in the last meeting between the pair back in January.
Key Facts – Queens Park Rangers vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tip
- Wednesday have not beaten QPR in league action since April 2017
- QPR have lost four of their last five in the Championship
- The Owls have picked up just three league wins in 2020
With neither team in any kind of form, this is a tough one to call. Having said that, home advantage could give QPR the slight edge. I am backing the hosts to win by one goal at 15/4.
