QPR vs Burnley: Match preview
QPR have won twice and lost twice in their last four matches, which is hardly consistent form. However, their overall situation is quite good. They currently sit ninth in the table. After 13 rounds, they have 20 points and are just two points behind the team in eighth place. This means QPR will be fighting for a spot in the promotion play-offs.
Burnley have suffered a remarkable decline in the current Championship season. The team played in the English Premier League last season but were relegated to the second division, where things have been far from straightforward. They have won just once in 13 league matches and currently have nine points to their name. The Clarets sit 22nd in the table, two points behind 21st place. The battle to avoid relegation is ongoing, but this is clearly not what Burnley had expected.
Probable lineups
- QPR: Charles; Adamson, Edwards, Dunne, Kemper; Poku, Varane, Kamara, Vale; Smyth, Kone
- Burnley: Coudert; Walker, Ekdal, Julio, Pires; Hatate, Hountondji; Edwards, Laurent, Ramazani; Vardy
Prediction
QPR and Burnley find themselves in different parts of the table, but both teams are fighting to move higher up the standings. I suggest betting on over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.66.
