Our prediction for this FA Cup match:
Queens Park Rangers and Bournemouth take on each other at Loftus Road in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Hoops are eager to put an end to their six-game winless run, but they will have a mountain to climb against the Premier League outfit. Midfielder Jack Colback remains on the sidelines with a muscle injury, whereas talented forward Rayan Kolli is pushing for a rare start.
The Cherries, on the other hand, suffered a 3-1 loss to Tottenham in their last league match, but their display against Spurs was anything but poor. Anyhow, Bournemouth are more of a team than Queens Park and we predict that the visitors are going to prove their worth on the field. Both Max Aarons and David Brooks should be recalled to the starting XI, while both Dango Ouattara and Antoine Semenyo are on international duty.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Archer):
Jordan Archer is an English goalkeeper who plays for Millwall in the Championship. Archer started his career in the youth team of Charlton Athletic and he moved to Tottenham Hotspur football academy in 2009. However, he did not see a first-team football at White Hart Lane as he was inmeditely sent on loan to Harrow Bourough (2011).
After ending his loan spells with the likes of Bishop’s Storford, Wycombe Wanderers and Northampton he signed a loan deal with Millwall in 2015 and he was soon offered a permanent contract with the capital club. Jordan Archer made 39 appearances for the Lions in the 2016/2017 League One campaign and it has to be noted that he managed to keep 11 clean sheets n the process.
Millwall secured promotion to the Championship at the end of the season as they defeated Bradford City in the final of the League One play-offs. Jordan Archer was born in Walthamstow, England on April 12, 1993.
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
