Prediction: 1-1
QPR
Saturday’s football game between Blackpool and Queens Park Rangers will bring down the curtain on day 17 of the new Championship campaign. Following three consecutive league wins, the Seasiders suffered a 1-0 loss to Stoke City in their last league match. Blackpool aim to get back on course as soon as possible, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Hoops.
Even though all Gretarsson, Hamilton, Lavery, Maxwell, Virtue-Thick, and Ward have been struggling with injuries of late, we predict that the hosts are going to grab something from the match. QPR, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cardiff City. Given Queens Park Rangers’ attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. All Field, Owens, and Wallace are likely to miss the game through injuries, speaking of the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Chris Maxwell):
Chris Maxwell is a Welsh goalkeeper who was born in St Asaph on July 30, 1990. Maxwell began his youth career at Penrhyn Bay (1998-2000) and in 2000 he moved to Wrexham. The 188-cm-tall shoot-stopper made his first-team debut for Wrexham at the age of 18 and he played 76 league games for the club from 2008 to 2012.
During the 2008/2009 season he spent six months on loan at Welsh club Connah’s Quay Nomads and in 2012 he joined Fleetwood Town. Chris Maxwell made 110 appearances in the league for the Trawlermen and on May 16, 2016 he signed a three-year deal with Championship side Preston North End. You should know that he managed to keep clean sheets in 38 appearances for the Lilywhites in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign.
Due to his dual citizenship, Maxwell is capable of representing both Wales and Scotland at senior level, but he played for the Dragons at youth level, being capped for the U21 team 16 times.
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.
