Queens Park Rangers - Southampton predictions

With most bookies pricing a home win at 5.00, this is one of the more lopsided matches of the season. Needless to say, Queens Park Rangers don’t stand much of a chance at coming out on top.

Considering the balance of power in this match, it seems that a draw may be the extent of the home team’s ambition. Southampton are at a clear advantage, which is reflected in the 1.80 odds for an away win 1X2 bet.

Queens Park Rangers fans were quite hopeful during the half-time break in the previous round. The team managed to snatch an early lead against Sheffield Wednesday , who are a considerably stronger team. QPR couldn’t hold on to their advantage in the second half, however, resulting in a narrow away loss (2:1).

The Saints are coming on the back of a 4:0 victory in their most recent Championship game. They were the hosts in that instance, though, and the matchup against Blackburn Rovers was largely favourable as well. In other words – they performed as well as could be expected, but the triumph itself was nothing extraordinary.

With over 5 goals over their past 3 home games, The Hoops is not a team you want to meet at home. They’ll be looking to extend this trend as much as possible, so Southampton will need to be careful.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Championship matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

Southampton won the home game they played against Southampton earlier in the season. The victory was relatively narrow as well, but they’re still expected to win this clash on Saturday by most online bookmakers.

Thanks to a lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams will have their full rosters ready for an exciting game.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 2.00.
