QPR and Bolton will meet in a highly-anticipated Championship round two clash, with both sides looking to build on victories from the opening weekend. As both sides seem capable of finding the net, we predict a 1-1 draw. The capital club impressed in a 3-1 win over Portsmouth, with Ilias Chair stealing the headlines after scoring a brace. The Hoops have been in strong form, winning five of their last 10 matches and scoring 2.20 goals per game during that period. Kemper and Saito are doubtful after picking up knocks against Portsmouth.
Bolton, meanwhile, made a winning start by beating Preston 2-1, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to avoid relegation to League One. Ruben Rodrigues remains sidelined, but there are no fresh injury concerns for the newcomers. A man to watch in the away team will be pacey winger Thierry Gale, who impressed in the opening match of the season.
BTTS landed in 70% of the last 10 H2H meetings, while both teams have attacking quality. Therefore, Both Teams to Score is our main betting tip for this matchup, alongside Over 1.5 goals and QPR or Draw.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
