Our prediction for this Championship match:
Saturday’s football match at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium pits together QPR and Bournemouth, the two teams who defeated Brentford and Rotherham United in midweek. The Hoops are on a three-game winning run in the Championship, but the match against Bournemouth will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. January signing Sam Field, who found the net in the come-from-behind win over Brentford, is pushing for his first QPR start.
All Amos, Carroll, Owens, and de Wijs are sidelined with injuries for the hosts. The Cherries, on the other hand, aim to retain their spot in top six, and seeing that they are likely to go for a win in Saturday’s clash as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Solanke, S. Cook, and Stacey are all likely to miss the game through injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Tom Carroll):
Tom Carroll is a professional English footballer who plays for Swansea City as a midfielder. The 177-cm tall is a product of Tottenham football academy and it has to be noted that he made 27 appearances for Spurs at senior level, scoring one goal. He found the net in a 3-0 win over Norwich City in the 2015/2016 season.
After ending his loan spells with the likes of Leyton Orient, Derby County and Queens Park Rangers, Tom Carroll signed a permanent deal with the Swans in the winter of 2017. Tom Carroll has 17 caps for England U21 team, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior team.
His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as both left and right midfielder as well. Tom Carroll’s preferred foot is left and his contract with the Welsh outfit should expire on June 30, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
