Southampton - Queens Park Rangers betting tips and odds

It’s quite easy to predict that Southampton will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Queens Park Rangers are given 9.00 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

The latest 1:2 triumph we saw from Southampton was deserved, if a bit unimpressive. They managed to meet the expectations in the previous round against Plymouth Argyle but the mediocre first half performance raised some uncomfortable questions.

Queens Park Rangers are coming on the back of a narrow 0:1 home defeat against Ipswich Town. The first half ended inconclusively, but the far stronger visiting team eventually pulled ahead – just like most betting predictions anticipated.

The first step Southampton 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.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Championship outings.

On Saturday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
