Our QPR vs Derby predictions and betting tips are below, with Anthony Eadson’s best bets and score prediction.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects a tense, low-scoring game.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 4.5 total cards | 11/10 (BoyleSports) | Neither QPR nor Derby has been winning, and nervy, must-not-lose games between sides under pressure tend to be scrappy and stop-start. QPR have drawn their last four and Derby are winless themselves, so expect a cagey contest full of fouls and niggle at Loftus Road. With both desperate not to slip up, the referee should be busy. At 11/10, over 4.5 total cards is the value angle on a tense London night. |
| The draw | 14/5 (Betway) | QPR have drawn each of their last four matches and look a side that cancels opponents out rather than blows them away, while Derby are also without a win and tough to beat on their day. Two low-scoring, out-of-form teams meeting with little between them points to another stalemate. A share of the spoils has plenty going for it. At 14/5, the draw is the value call in a game that screams caution. |
