QPR return to Loftus Road with no fresh injury concerns following a narrow 2–1 defeat away at Norwich, and their home numbers continue to stand out as one of the strongest indicators in this matchup. As Sheffield Wednesday are stuck at the bottom and with financial issues, we predict a 2-0 home win. The Hoops have taken 2.40 points per game at home of late, winning 80% of their matches, while their games at Loftus Road average a huge 4.00 total goals. QPR score freely in front of their own fans (2.60 goals per home game) and have failed to score in none of their matches, backed by a solid 1.61 home xG. Defensively, they remain vulnerable (1.40 conceded at home), but their ability to consistently find the net makes them difficult to contain.
Sheffield Wednesday, on the other hand, are struggling both on and off the pitch. The Owls remain rooted to the bottom of the table, hampered by a lengthy injury list and ongoing financial problems, which have already resulted in an 18-point deduction that has severely damaged morale. On the field, the numbers are bleak: Wednesday have yet to win a league match, averaging just 0.30 points per game, while conceding 2.20 goals per match. Their attacking output is among the weakest in the division (0.70 goals per game), and they have failed to score in 50% of fixtures, with that figure rising to 60% at home and 40% away. Their defensive metrics underline the struggle, with an xGA of 2.06 on the road, pointing to constant pressure and a lack of control.
As Sheffield Wednesday are running down a blind alley, Home Win seems like a sure bet, with additional value on QPR/QPR and QPR to Win to Nil.
This Championship match will be played on Sunday 4 January 2026 at 12:00.
