📰 Team News: QPR
The QPR boss Julien Stéphan doesn’t have any fitness concerns at all before this game thanks to a fully healthy squad available for selection.
We think that The R's look set to opt for a 4-4-2 system this time, handing starts to Paul Nardi, Jimmy Dunne, Steve Cook, R. Norrington-Davies, Esquerdinha, Harvey Vale, Isaac Hayden, Nicolas Madsen, Ilias Chair, Richard Kone and Rumarn Burrell.
📋 Team News: Southampton
Owing to a completely healthy squad to pick from, the Southampton manager Tonda Eckert doesn’t have any fitness worries at all coming into this clash.
We believe The Saints seem most likely to elect for a 3-4-3 system, going with Gavin Bazunu, Jack Stephens, Nathan Wood, T. Harwood-Bellis, Mads Roerslev, Flynn Downes, Caspar Jander, Ryan Manning, Finn Azaz, Adam Armstrong and Tom Fellows.
🧠 Prediction
We’re thinking that Southampton and Queens Park Rangers are probably both going to find scoring goals difficult here.
A draw is a real possibility, as a clear-cut winner doesn’t appear to be obvious. We’re therefore tipping a very competitive game with a 0-0 draw at full-time.
