Our prediction for this Championship match:
Queens Park Rangers and Blackburn Rovers go head to head at Loftus Road in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. The Hoops aim to put an end to their five-game winless run in the Championship and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against the Riversiders. Goalkeeper Asmir Begovic is banned for the match, while defender Morgan Fox has yet to recover from a knee injury.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team extending their losing run to four games at Coventry City. Considering that Blackburn are eager to return to winning ways as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. As for the away team, all Aynsley Pears, Harry Leonard, Ryan Hedges, and Sam Gallagher remain in the recovery room.
