Stoke City
Queens Park Rangers head into Saturday's clash against Stoke City desperate to put an end to their winless run, which has stretched on since August 30, 2024. Despite their struggles, the Hoops remain tough to beat at Loftus Road, often proving difficult to break down in front of their home fans. However, their squad is significantly depleted, with Dembele, Fox, Clarke-Salter, Frey, Paal, and Colback all sidelined due to injuries, making their task even more challenging.
Stoke City, on the other hand, arrive in good form, having secured back-to-back wins against Derby County and Blackburn Rovers before sharing the spoils with Millwall. The Potters are brimming with confidence but will miss suspended midfielder Wouter Burger, who has been playing an important role in their recent success. Their newfound momentum could give them the edge, though breaking down a resilient QPR at home will require patience. With QPR’s tough-to-beat reputation in London and Stoke’s solid recent form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.
Highlighted Player (Jack Bonham):
Jack Bonham is a professional footballer who was born in Stevenage on the 14th of September, 1993. The 26-year-old, although having born in England, is an Irish International and has featured for the Republic of Ireland's Under-17 team five times.
At the club level, he began his youth career with Watford and signed his first professional contract in September 2010 at the age of 17. Bonham's first-ever professional appearance came on the 4th of May, 2013 as a substitute against Leeds United in the final game of the 12/13 Championship season.
This appearance marked the 1.92 m standing goalkeeper's only appearance in a Watford shirt. Bonham then went on to play for clubs like Brentford, Carlisle United and Bristol Rovers before eventually joining Gillingham at the start of the 2019 season on a two-year contract. He's since featured nine times for the club and kept two clean sheets.
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.
