Leeds
Queens Park Rangers
In the 15th round of the Championships, Leeds - QPR will meet. I have prepared my prediction for this event, whether the promotion contender will have problems against the outsider.
Leeds
“Peacocks” often swarm between the EPL and the Championship, this season the club is again trying to rise to the elite. Now the team goes third in the championship, the gap from the leader is 4 points, and to the second place two points. In the last round Leeds lost to Millwall away - 0:1, although they did not deserve the defeat. The aforementioned failure interrupted a series of eight matches without losing.
One failure should not undermine the team spirit, there is still a lot of struggle ahead, so we need to show our best soccer. Any result other than a win in the upcoming game will be considered a failure.
QPR
Things at Rangers are going so badly that the club should think only about survival. The team is tightly stuck among the outsiders, sitting in the penultimate place, the gap from the saving 21st line is as much as 5 points.
In the last round, the club failed in their arena against Middlesbrough, suffering a defeat with a score of 1:4. So the team broke the series of three draws in a row, but with wins things are bad at all, CRC does not win 10 matches in a row in the Championship. With such a game and results, the probability of relegation from the division looks high.
Possible line-ups
- Leeds: Melier, Byrem, Rodon, Streak, Firpo, Rotwell, Tanaka Nyionto, Aaronson, James, Piroux.
- QPR: Nardi, Dunne, Cook, Field, Andersen, Morgan, Varane, Saito, Madsen, Sher, Celer.
Match Facts
- Leeds won 5 out of 7 meetings on their field, lost once, one more meeting ended in a draw.
- QPRis not all hopeless in the away: 1 win, 2 defeats and three draws.
- The quotes for the upcoming battle are as follows: W1 - 1.29, X - 5.6, W2 - 11.
H2H
Last season, the teams exchanged victories, Leeds won 1:0, and CRC took a convincing revenge - 4:0.
Prediction
In this pair Leeds is the favorite, there is no point in arguing with this, the “peacocks” are stronger and should control the course of the match. Of course, QPR have their own tournament motivation, the guests will try to cling to points. I will bet on the success of the home team with a -1.5 goal handicap.
