Queens Park Rangers vs Fulham Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview

London rivals Queens Park Rangers and Fulham lock horns in a televised Championship match this Saturday lunch time. Read the match predictions to find out why an away win is the betting tip at Loftus Road. QPR come into this on the back of an unlikely 0-1 win away to Reading while Fulham produced a solid performance to beat Barnsley 2-0 at home.

Queens Park Rangers vs Fulham Preview

QPR boss Ian Holloway will be reluctant to make any major changes now that his side have found a bit of form. Steven Caulker and Jack Robinson are injured while Tjaronn Chery has fallen out with the club and will not be selected. New signing Kazenga Lua Lua will be used as an impact sub again with youngsters Ryan Manning and Darnell Furlong set to continue in the side.

Fulham have no fresh injury concerns, so can name an unchanged side after their dominant display against Barnsley. Striker Chris Martin will continue up front after deciding against a return to parent club Derby. Wingers Floyd Ayite and Neeskens Kebano are both on international duty at the African Cup of Nations.

Queens Park Rangers vs Fulham Prediction

Queens Park Rangers appear to have turned a corner after winning their last three Championship matches. That form has lifted them clear of danger and they now sit seventeenth in the table ahead if this round of matches. Their win away at Reading was something of a shock and the R’s will be looking to keep their momentum here.

Fulham are still eyeing a playoff berth after losing just twice from their last 11 Championship matches. Both of those defeats came against Brighton, so it’s clear that it will take a good side to beat the Cottagers when on form. They sit eighth but have 6 points to make up on the playoff places.

Matches between these sides tend to produce goals, with over 2.5 in the past five meetings. QPR have been grinding out the results, winning by a single goal in each of their last three while Fulham have scored at least twice in six of their last seven Championship matches. I’m tipping the away side to outscore QPR and win the bragging rights from this local derby.
