Our prediction for this Championship match:
QPR
Match Time & Date:
23/12/2023
16:00
Prediction: 0-2
Southampton
QPR will be looking to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Sheffield Wednesday when they face Southampton in the Championship round 23. The Hoops are desperate to escape the danger zone and we are positive they will go all guns blazing at the Saints. Scotland forward Lyndon Dykes is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Jack Colback and Morgan Fox are out of contention through injuries.
The Saints, on the other hand, showcased their worth in a 4-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers and given QPR’s poor display against the Owls, we predict that the visiting team will emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. The likes of Ross Stewart, Kamaldeen Sulemana, and Juan Larios should miss out with injuries for the away team. In their last encounter in the English second tier Southampton defeated Queens Park Rangers 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.

Southampton are an English football club that have been playing their home games at St Mary's Stadium since 2001. The Saints were based at The Dell in the past and the capacity of Southampton’s new stadium is 32,505. Southampton wear red and white striped shirts and the colour of the team’s away kit is navy and green.
The Saints have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to clinch the FA Cup title back in 1976, while participating in the final of the prestigious competition in 1900, 1902 and 2003. Southampton outplayed Manchester United in the 1976 FA Cup final and that is probably the club’s greatest victory ever.
