QPR vs Cardiff is a Championship clash at Loftus Road on Wednesday, with the hosts fancied after a fine away win.
Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this Championship clash below.
Premium Tips
Andy is with QPR, who arrive in confidence after winning at Blackburn.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| QPR to win and over 2.5 goals | 6/4 | QPR have made a strong start and host this one at Loftus Road sitting fourth, unbeaten through three with two wins and a draw. They have scored in every game, five goals in total, while conceding just twice, so the platform for a home win is there. Cardiff arrive 18th and still without a victory, having drawn all three of their opening fixtures and shipped five goals along the way. Both sides have found the net freely early on, and the recent head-to-head has tended to produce goals, so backing QPR to win a game that clears 2.5 stacks up well. |
| Ilias Chair to score or assist and Krystian Bielik to be booked | 9/2 | Chair is the creative heartbeat of this QPR side and has started the season on fire, directly involved in three goals across his three starts, two scored and one created in 270 minutes. On that output, backing him for a goal or an assist at home is right in line with his current form. Bielik supplies the disciplinary angle: a combative defensive-minded operator now at Cardiff, he picked up bookings last season and plays the kind of physical, tackle-heavy role in front of the back line that referees punish, especially away from home against Chair’s movement. |
