Our prediction for this Championship match:
Following a morale-boosting 3-1 win over Stoke City, Norwich City will look to move closer to automatic promotion places when they take on Queens Park Rangers on Matchday 19. Talented midfielder Aaron Ramsey should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a brace in the last league match, while all Idah, Rowe, and Sorensen remain in the recovery room. Joshua Sargent, though, should recover in time to face the Hoops, while Todd Cantwell is pushing for a start.
The capital club, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Birmingham City, and given their recent difficulties on the road, we predict that Dean Smith’s troops are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration. Rob Dickie is widely expected to replace Jake Clarke-Salter in the starting line-up, while Sinclair Armstrong should deputise for Tyler Roberts, who limped off with injury in the last league fixture.
Highlighted Player (Grant Hanley):
Grant Hanley is Scottish footballer who plays for Norwich City as defender. Hanley was born in Dumfries, Scotland, on November 20, 1991 and he started his youth career at Queen of the South. After ending his spells with Crewe Alexandra and Rangers, the Scottish player joined English club Blackburn Rovers, where he started his senior career.
After scoring eight goals in 183 appearances for the Riversiders in league matches, he moved to fellow English club Newcastle United in July, 2016 for an undisclosed fee. Grant Hanley, though, made no more than 10 appearances for Newcastle United in the Championship before joining Norwich City. The 191-cm-tall defender made his full international debut for Scotland against Wales on in May, 2011.
He scored his first goal for the Scotland national football team in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Wales. His contract with Norwich City should expire on June 30, 2021.
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.
