Southampton to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Betfair<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Southampton to win because they\u2019ve created 59 big chances this season\u2014nearly 50% more than QPR\u2014and have a perfect head-to-head record in recent meetings. Their higher shot accuracy (41.6%) and superior possession further tip the balance.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to both teams combining for 95 goals in 33 games each (2.88 per game average) and their tendency to concede\u2014QPR 47, Southampton 45. Both sides\u2019 open styles point to goals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
