Our prediction for this Championship match:
Following four consecutive league defeats, Queens Park Rangers will look to get back on course when they face Coventry City at their Loftus Road. The Hoops do not seem to be at their sharpest, but Tuesday’s clash could be the turning point for Marti Cifuentes’ troops. All Clarke-Salter, Colback, and Morrison are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Sky Blues, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing four of their last five league matches. Coventry City have been slipping down the standings week by week and given their difficulties in front of goal, QPR will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the English second tier. The likes of Bidwell, Allen, Sakamoto, and Borges Rodrigues miss out with injuries for the away team, while Ghana international Brandon Thomas-Asante is widely expected to return to the starting eleven.
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.
