Our prediction for this Championship match:
Loftus Road will host Saturday’s football game between Queens Park Rangers and Huddersfield Town, the two relegation-threatened sides. The Hoops desperately needed a win against their local rivals Millwall and they managed to get one, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Barring any fresh injury worries, Marti Cifuentes is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Lions at the weekend.
The Terriers, meanwhile, are eager to put an end to their four-game winless run in the English second tier. Huddersfield, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the man reason why we are going to bet on the home side this time out. Earlier in the process the Terriers defeated the Hoops 2-1 at John Smith’s Stadium, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Huddersfield defender Yuta Nakayama is on international duty, while all Headley, Burgzorg, Maxwell, Ward, Pearson, Ruffels, and Harratt should miss out with injuries.
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.
