Derby v QPR Betting Preview – Championship 31st March 7.45pm
The Rams start the weekend a big nine points outside of the play offs spots and with just one win in their last six league outings, their season has rapidly fallen apart. A defeat in this one could all but see their hopes of landing a top six place finish. They face a QPR side who have really found their feet and who are climbing up the table nicely. Rangers have won four of their last six league games played and may pose the out-of-sorts Rams a problem or two in this Friday night fixture.

Derby v QPR Betting Tips
It has been a disappointing return from Derby since February really. They were solid enough over the first half of the season to suggest that they can get themselves in the play off mix but that has rapidly faded. They have gone just W1 D4 L5 in their last nine league games. So wins have been hard to come by and at home, they have posted a W1 D3 L1 record in their last five fixtures. The Rams took a 1-0 win out at Loftus Road earlier in the season over Rangers and things have been tight between these two recent. A Derby 1-0 correct score at Bet365 is an 11/2 correct score option and the Rams have won two of their last three home games by that scoreline against the R’s. Both teams have failed to score in each of the last five meetings between the clubs and you can back that to happen again at a 4/5 price. Under 2.5 goals is a price of 7/10 with Bet365. Only 37% of Derby’s home games this season in the league have gone above the goal line and the Rams have been drawing at half-time in 13 of their 19 home games this season.
So a tight game is on the cards in this one, particularly with QPR playing well at the moment. They have gone W5 D1 L1 in their last seven league games and have scored at least two goals in five of those seven games. It’s worth noting that the bulk of their positive results have happened at home and they have won just one of their last four on the road (D1 L2). However, overall they are doing well and could earn themselves a point in this one, as their recent 0-0 draw at play-off hopefuls Leeds proved. There has been a severe lack of clean sheets from the R’s, who have taken just one in their last 12 league games, but they have the scoring at the moment to paper over that. QPR have a record of W2 D2 L2 in their last six trips to Pride Park in the Championship. A point wouldn’t be a bad result for Rangers in this one, but three points would see them finish the weekend level on points with the slumping Rams.

Derby v QPR Predictions
QPR Away Win: The form is with Rangers in this one even though clean sheets have been hard to come by for them. They were on fire with a five-goal haul last weekend and even though they are a much better home side, the Rams are there for the taking.
