Our prediction for this Championship match:
Queens Park Rangers will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run in the Championship when they face Portsmouth on Matchday 10. The Hoops are determined to get back on course and they are surely capable of making life difficult for the Pompey at home. Fit-again midfielder Ilias Chair is pushing for his first start of the season, while all Liam Morrison, Jack Colback, and Jake Clarke-Salter remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Portsmouth, meanwhile, have yet to record a win in the new Championship campaign. As Queens Park will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, we are tempted to bet on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but all Colby Bishop, Ibane Bowat, Callum Lang, and Kusini Yengi remain in the recovery room.
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.
