Preston North End - Queens Park Rangers betting tips and odds

Preston North End are easily the favourites in the match this Friday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.00 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Queens Park Rangers may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

At 3.95 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive QPR are well aware of it themselves.

The Lilywhites’s previous Championship match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Middlesbrough . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 5.50. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 4:0 result before the end.

The away team are coming on the back of a surprising victory against Stoke City. For Queens Park Rangers, the bout was a very tough matchup at home, and even their most ardent supporters weren’t too optimistic. However, after an indecisive first half, they recorded multiple consecutive goals and went on to win 4:2.

The first step The Lilywhites need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 2.00. They soundly defeated Queens Park Rangers last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Friday.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 2.02 at 888Sport.
