Queens Park Rangers - Cardiff City predictions

Queens Park Rangers are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Cardiff City. The odds of 2.25 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

From the present perspective, the situation is evident. Considering the strength of QPR and the fact that Cardiff are given 3.40 odds to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a remarkable surprise.

QPR are coming on the back of a crushing 3:1 away defeat at the hands of Stoke City . The odds were against them from the start, and they never managed to recover from the early lead Stoke City grabbed.

Cardiff City’s latest home match against Sheffield Wednesday ended in a 1:1 draw. All things considered, though, such an outcome is not all bad for them. They were still up against overwhelming odds - most online sportsbooks priced a home win at 3.02, but Cardiff City even took the lead in the first half.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Based on Cardiff City’s recent performances, a null result is not very likely. They got on the scoreboard in all 7 of their previous Championship outings and the trend is highly likely to continue.

The Hoops clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Cardiff City, but it was a rather narrow victory.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
