Our prediction for this Championship match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Middlesbrough and Southampton, Bristol City will be aiming to stay in the playoffs race when they welcome QPR to their Ashton Gate Stadium. Lately, the Robins have been finding the back of the net with remarkable frequency, much to the delight of fans who are now brimming with optimism as they look forward to Saturday's match. The likes of Scott Twine, Kal Naismith, Rob Atkinson, and Ayman Benarous should miss out with injuries for the home side.
The Hoops, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Stoke City. Queens Park Rangers, meanwhile, suffered a 1-0 loss to Stoke City on Wednesday evening, with the team remaining in the relegation zone. The capital club have already suffered nine defeats on the road this term and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Bristol City’s party at Ashton Gate Stadium. Algeria international Rayan Kolli should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Nahki Wells):
Born on June 1, 1990 in Hamilton, Bermuda, Nahki Wells is a 170-cm-tall attacker who plays for the Bermuda national team. Wells is a product of Dandy Town Hornets youth academy and he continued playing for the Bermudan side at senior level.
The experienced striker played for the likes of Bermuda Hogges, Eccleshill United and Carlisle United before joining Bradford City in 2011. After spending three seasons at Valley Parade, Nahki Wells signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Huddersfield Town in the winter of 2014. In 2017 he moved to Burnley, but he played for Queens Park Rangers as a loan footballer in the 2018/2019 season.
Speaking of his international career, Wells made his debut for the Bermuda national team in 2007. He scored his first ever goal for Bermuda in the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago. The Burnley man will represent the Gombey Warriors at the 2019 Gold Cup.
Highlighted Team (QPR):
Queens Park Rangers are well known as QPR. The capital club was founded in 1886 and Loftus Road Stadium is QPR’s ground. Loftus Road Stadium was opened in 1904 and the capacity of the venue 18,439. However, it has to be noted that no less than 35,353 spectators watched the game between QPR and Leeds on 27 April, 1974.
The Hoops finished the 1975/1976 First Division campaign in second position in the standings, just behind champions Liverpool. This is considered the club’s biggest success, but Queens Park Rangers made it to the FA Cup final in 1982 as well.
QPR were beaten by fellow capital club Tottenham Hotspur in the title game, but they did well to lift the League Cup trophy in 1967. Queens Park’s main rivals are Brentford, Chelsea and Fulham, but other clubs based in London are considered QPR’s rivals as well. The colour of QPR’s shirts is blue and white.
