Queens Park Rangers

WWDDLL ⚖

QPR won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 1-2 Championship losing effort in their last game against Swansea City.

In that match, Queens Park Rangers had 49% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Queens Park Rangers was Rhys Norrington-Davies (90'). On the other side, Swansea City had 17 shots on goal with 11 of them on target. Ronald (2') and Žan Vipotnik (80') scored for Swansea City.

It’s not been often in recent times that Queens Park Rangers have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Queens Park Rangers have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 7 goals on the way.

Ahead of this clash, Queens Park Rangers haven’t won at home in the past 2 league matches.

Derby County

WLWLWL ↕

After a loss in their previous game against Norwich City in Championship competition, Derby County and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Derby County had 45% possession and 11 shots on goal with 8 on target. The scorer for Derby County was David Ozoh (54'). On the other side, Norwich City had 14 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Mohamed Touré (33') and Liam Gibbs (60') scored for Norwich City.

Over the course of their previous half-dozen clashes, Derby County have bagged the sum of 8 goals. Derby County have also scored in every single one of those games. In that time, they have had 7 goals scored by their opponents. Regardless, it remains to be seen if the trend will persist in this next game.

Looking at their past form shows that Derby County:

• haven't beaten Queens Park Rangers when they've played them away from home in the last 2 matches in the league.
• are without an away win for the past 3 matches in the league.

ℹ️ Team News: QPR

Jake Clarke-Salter (Hip injury), Ziyad Larkeche (Cruciate ligament injury) and Justin Obikwu (Shin injury) will not be able to play for QPR boss Julien Stéphan.

In our view, The R's will possibly opt for a 4-4-2 system in the match, handing starts to Joe Walsh, Kealey Adamson, Steve Cook, Ronnie Edwards, R. Norrington-Davies, Paul Smyth, Kieran Morgan, Isaac Hayden, Harvey Vale, Rayan Kolli and Rumarn Burrell.

ℹ️ Team News: Derby County

Derby County boss John Eustace has multiple availability issues to deal with. Callum Elder (Broken toe), Rhian Brewster (Knee surgery), Bobby Clark (Hamstring injury) and Patrick Agyemang (Achilles tendon rupture) will miss out on this game.

We believe The Rams will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of J. W. Zetterström, Joe Ward, Sondre Langås, Matt Clarke, Craig Forsyth, Lewis Travis, David Ozoh, Ben Brereton Díaz, Samuel Szmodics, Jaydon Banel and Carlton Morris.

💭 Prediction

We’re thinking that Derby County and Queens Park Rangers could find scoring goals difficult here.

It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. We’re therefore seeing a very competitive game with a 0-0 score at the end of the 90.
