(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe’re backing both teams to score as QPR have only kept 9 clean sheets and Bristol City 12 in 41 games\u2014both average conceding well over a goal per game. The last five H2Hs have seen goals at both ends three times.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

(44.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value in QPR at home, who have scored more goals than Bristol City this season (58 vs 52) and won away at Bristol in the reverse fixture. Their midfielders contribute heavily to the scoresheet, giving multiple threats.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
