Our prediction for this Championship match:
Queens Park Rangers will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Stoke City and Preston when they face Hull City on Saturday afternoon. The Hoops have been showing signs of improvement of late and it is no surprise the odds for home win have been dropping. Barring any fresh injury worries, Marti Cifuentes is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Lilywhites at the weekend.
The Tigers, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Watford and given QPR’s fine form, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Talented forward Jaden Philogene should keep his place in the starting XI despite failing to convert a penalty in the last league match, while both Ruben Vinagre and Dogukan Sinik remain on the sidelines with injuries. Liam Rosenior is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
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.
