Our prediction for this Championship match:
DW Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Wigan Athletic and Queens Park Rangers. The Latics are stuck at the bottom, eight points behind the safe zone, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. Charlie Hughes limped off with injury in a 1-1 draw with Watford, with Omar Rekik likely to step up. All Charlie Hughes, Martin Kelly, and Jason Kerr remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Hoops, on the other hand, suffered four defeats in the previous five league matches, and seeing that Wigan are desperate to pick up all three points from the match, home win should be considered. Osman Kakay is a major doubt, while all Paal, Chair, Laird, Willock, Clarke-Salter, and Balogun remain in the recovery room, speaking of the away team. In their last meeting at the venue Wigan defeated QPR thanks to Kieffer Moore’s goal.
Highlighted Player (Jason Kerr):
Jason Kerr is a professional footballer who plays for St Johnstone as a defender. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on February 6, 1997, Jason Kerr is a product of the St Johnstone football academy. He started his senior career in 2014, and after ending his loan spells with East Fife and Queen of the South, he returned to the McDiarmid Park outfit in 2018.
He made his debut with the Saints in the Scottish Cup game against Albion Rovers on January 29, 2019. Jason Kerr has six caps with the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to receive a call-up for the senior team.
He scored his first goal for St Johnstone in a 4-1 defeat to Rangers on February 27, 2018. His primary position on the field is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing good displays as a central midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right, and he wears the number 15 shirt at St Johnstone.
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.
