QPR vs Coventry: match preview
QPR are currently a mid-table side in the Championship and have collected 40 points after 29 rounds. The team occupy 12th place in the table and trail the sixth-placed side by just four points. Their recent run of games has been far from convincing. QPR have failed to win four matches in a row, registering two draws and two defeats. As a result, QPR can still fight for a place in the Championship play-offs, especially given the tight congestion in the middle of the table.
Coventry are among the leaders of the English Championship. After 29 rounds, the team have collected 58 points and currently sit top of the table. However, their recent performances have been far from impressive, and they have lost the points cushion they previously built. Coventry have won only two of their last seven matches, while they have failed to win seven consecutive away games. Their lead over second place stands at three points, and their advantage over third place is eight points. In their previous match, Coventry lost 1–2 to Norwich, but had recorded two wins before that.
Probable line-ups
- QPR: Walsh, Cook, Dunne, Norrington-Davies, Mbengue, Morgan, Madsen, Vale, Dembélé, Smyth, Kone
- Coventry: Rushworth, Dasilva, Thomas, Kitching, van Ewijk, Grimes, Torp, Wright, Mason-Clark, Thomas-Asante, Esse
Prediction
Both QPR and Coventry are going through a difficult spell, with Coventry also struggling away from home. We are in for a tense contest, and I suggest a bet on both teams to score.
