LiontipsLuton Town vs QPR. Championship match prediction and betting tips
Command Analysis
Current form
Luton Town spent last season in the Premier League, debuting in the best league in England. From the very beginning, the team was considered a clear outsider, even against the background of other Championship natives, but the "hatters" fought for survival almost until the very last round, eventually taking 18th place. Having returned to the Championship, the visitors have not yet been able to gain form. In the very first round, Luton suffered a crushing defeat from Burnley (1:4), and then took only one point in the confrontations with Portsmouth (0:0) and Preston (0:1). The club recently flew out of the English League Cup, losing to today's opponent in a penalty shootout.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jacob Brown, Daiki Hashioka and Tom Lockyer will miss the match due to various injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The hosts have scored only two goals in four matches
- The team has not won for seven matches in a row.
Probable line-up : Kaminski - McGuinness, Mengi, Bell - Ogbene, Baptiste, Kraus, Doughty - Morris, Chong, Adebayo.
Current form
QPR have been playing in the Championship for a long time and it is still quite difficult to count on a return to the Premier League. In the last two seasons, the team was closer to relegation to League 1. The team finished the previous championship in 18th place, only five points clear of the relegation zone. The current Championship draw has also started rather averagely. After a defeat to West Bromwich (1:3), draws with Sheffield United (2:2) and Plymouth (1:1) followed. But in the League Cup, the Londoners have already beaten Cambridge United (3:1) and today's opponent (2:1 d.p.).
Disqualifications and injuries
Lucas Andersen and Ilias Chair will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- QPR have not lost in four matches
- The team has scored in all four matches this season
Prospective line-up : Walsh - Dunn, Morrison, Clarke-Salter, Pahl - Varane, Dixon-Bonner, Smith, Andersen, Lloyd - Fry.

15.00Bet Both Teams to Score
This bet has played in QPR's last five matches
1.75Bet Number 1 in the final score
This pattern has worked in 4 of the hosts' last 5 matches
1.67Tip and bets
The hosts are still looking quite modest in attack, which is quite strange, because last season the club did not get lost even against the strongest teams of the Premier League. We think that in the match with QPR the team will still rely on attack, and the guests will respond.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.77
Bet on total
Both teams want to finally win the Championship, but the visitors look preferable. The team recently managed to snatch a draw from Sheffield United, despite finishing the match with ten men. The hosts have not yet accomplished such feats and look rather dull. We think that the visitors will gain at least one point.
Prediction - QPR will not lose with odds of 1.98
Bet on corners
Both teams actively use the flanks when attacking, so the opponents will probably earn a lot of corners in this match.
Betting Tip - total over 10.5 corners with odds of 1.85
