Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson expects a clean-sheet QPR win against a sinking Preston.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
QPR to win to nil2/1 (BetVictor)Rangers have been miserly at the back, conceding just five goals across their opening seven games, and they welcome a Preston side in complete freefall, beaten in six of their last seven and leaking thirteen in the process. This is a glaring mismatch, both in current form and defensive solidity, between a settled home team and the division’s most out-of-sorts travellers. At 2/1 about QPR winning while keeping another clean sheet against a Preston attack offering next to nothing, there is real value on offer.
QPR to win 2-015/2 (bet365)QPR tend to grind out tight, low-scoring victories rather than blowing sides away, and Preston offer almost nothing as an attacking force on their travels this season. A controlled 2-0, keeping yet another clean sheet while doing just enough at the other end, sits bang on the template Rangers have followed throughout the campaign so far. Against opponents this poor and this leaky, that scoreline is a very live outcome, and 15/2 is a generous price on the most probable winning margin.

How Queens Park Rangers go into the game

QPR drew 1-1 at West Brom to extend a solid start that has them in the top six. Loftus Road has been a tough place to visit.

Well-drilled and hard to beat, QPR will fancy their chances against a struggling Preston.

How Preston North End go into the game

Preston were beaten 1-0 by Lincoln last time out and sit near the bottom of the table. Goals have been in short supply.

Organised but blunt going forward, Preston face an awkward trip to a confident QPR.
