[ALEXXXXXXXX]

Queens Park Rangers (QPR)

They do not play well in recent seasons. They were the ninth in last season. It is the best record they have got in these years. Now they rank the sixth in the table. But the gap between them and the tenth is so narrow that they must try their best to stay top six.

 

Luton Town

They are the eleventh in the table. There are just two points separating them from the sixth, QPR. They have the chance to qualify for EPL as long as they put more efforts. In last game, they lose to Stoke City at 0-1.

 

Verdict:

QPR are in good condition, getting a four-match unbeaten run in recent games. While Luton Town are not in form. Besides, QPR have never been defeated by Luton Town since 2019, which makes them have psychological advantage. And QPR have home advantage. So QPR are more likely to win in upcoming game.

 

1x2 Pick: 1x

 Queens Park Rangers (QPR) vs Luton Town

Kick Off: 11/19/2021 15:45

 

Queens Park Rangers (QPR)

QPR have drawn 1-1 with Blackpool in the last round. At present, they rank 6th in the table and have successfully entered the upgrade area. However, due to the recent decline in the winning rate and only one victory in the past five events, the team's ranking is not stable and may be squeezed out of the promotion area again at any time. Ilias Chair and Dijks, as the two main strikers of the team, have not scored for a long time and are in poor state.

Luton Town

Luton lost to Stoke City 0-1 in the last round. The team have ushered in a wave of improvement in front strength this season. However, the stability is still not very good. At present, they also temporarily rank in the middle reaches of the championship, only 2 points behind QPR. As long as they win this battle, they may jump into the promotion area. Luton also have a certain away strength for the road unbeaten rate has reached 70% in recent times. The main strikers Adebayor and Cornick have scored goals 15 goals in total recently.

Prediction

The gap between the two teams in terms of strength is not very large. QPR have great advantages In the historical confrontation and they also beat Luton twice last season. However, due to the majority of their recent draws, so we predict that Queen's Park Rangers to be unbeaten.

 

Pick: Queen's Park Rangers to be unbeaten

Total: Over 2.5 goals

Preston vs Cardiff

The Championship is back after a break for the international matches and I'm glad to say that I'm not dreading doing a Cardiff preview! The Bluebirds travel to Preston on Saturday afternoon for a 3pm GMT kick-off at Deepdale. Both teams desperately need the 3 points to move away from the relegation zone but the pressure is certainly more on the visitors ahead of this game.

Preston are having a tough time in the second tier this season. The board's decision to sack former head coach Alex Neil was a controversial one and, so far, his successor Frankie McAvoy hasn't really shown that he's an improvement on the Scotsman. The Lilywhites are in 16th place and a lack of consistency is blighting their season so far. Home form has remained solid though with the team unbeaten in their last 7 home league games. This is a Preston side that is struggling to score goals this season with the team bagging just 18 goals in their 17 league matches so far.

Cardiff continue their new age under new head coach Steve Morison. The former under 23s gaffer has been appointed on a permanent basis which has proved a popular decision with the fan base. His decision to bring his former club captain and Huddersfield under 23s head coach Mark Hudson as first team coach also went down well with the City faithful. The team might have turned their performances around and managed just 1 loss in their last 3 league games but the they remain down in 20th position and just 3 points above the relegation zone. Unfortunately, Cardiff's away defensive record isn't great having conceded at least 2 goals in their last 4 away league games.

It might not seem that a big change has happened at Cardiff since the sacking of Mick McCarthy but if you've watched us play you can see that Morison is successfully turning around an oil tanker. He's bringing in younger players, getting the ball down more, and actually playing with a level of structure and sense of purpose. He's a popular choice with the fans and players so I am optimistic he can get the results to start matching the performances. I can see us grinding out a draw here.

Draw @ 3.35 with SBK

BTTS @ 1.89 with SBK
