West Ham vs QPR: match preview
West Ham are not producing strong results this season. They have won three matches so far and have also drawn several times. At the moment, the Hammers are sitting in the relegation zone with 14 points after 21 rounds. The gap to 17th place is currently seven points, making survival in the Premier League extremely difficult. In the FA Cup, they are only just beginning their campaign and will try in this match to end their poor run and claim their first win in ten games.
QPR compete in the Championship and sit in mid-table, while pushing to challenge for a top-six finish. After 26 rounds, QPR have 38 points and trail sixth place by three points. This means the team still have a realistic chance of reaching the promotion play-offs. However, their results have also lacked consistency. They have won just one of their last four matches. QPR are also starting their FA Cup journey and will look to put up a fight for a place in the next round.
Probable line-ups
- West Ham: Hermansen; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Julio, Scarles; Fernandes, Potts; Bowen, Paqueta, Summerville; Castellanos
- Queens Park Rangers: Nardi; Mbengue, Dunne, Cook, Norrington-Davies; Dembele, Madsen, Field, Smyth; Kolli, Kone
Prediction
West Ham are not in their best form, but QPR are also far from consistent. The Hammers are playing at home and will clearly be motivated to end their winless streak. I suggest a bet on a West Ham victory in this match.
