Prediction: 1-1
Preston
Queens Park Rangers and Preston square off against each other at Loftus Road in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Hoops aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Brentford and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach in Saturday’s encounter. The club chiefs have signed permanent deals with the likes of Rumarn Burrell, Kealey Adamson, Kwame Poku, Amadou Salif Mbengue, and Karamoko Dembele in the summer transfer window.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, suffered a 2-0 loss to Bolton in their last warm-up game. As both Preston and QPR are eager to return to winning ways, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. A man to watch in the away team will be summer signing Michael Smith as top scorer Emil Riis joined Bristol City earlier this summer.
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.
