Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Blackburn to Win or Draw – 1.77
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Under 3 Goals – 1.41
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Anytime Correct Score 0-1 – 2.40
Blackburn won five of their 16 away games while QPR are winless at home in eight Championship matches. In addition, Blackburn drew their previous three road games and won th previous two h2h meetings.
QPR’s 88% of home games this season in the Championship produced three or fewer goals. Likewise, in 94% of Blackburn’s away games there were under three goals scored. As a result. The possibility for this bet succeeding is 91%.
Blackburn scored the first goal in their last two league games and also in the two meetings with QPR. Overall, since the start of the Championship season, Blackburn took a 1-0 lead in 61% of their matches or 20 of 30 league games.
Queens Park Rangers
No side in the Championship are currently on a longer winless run than QPR (D5, L5), so they’ve turned to club legend Gareth Ainsworth to try and guide them away from the drop zone. The new manager has a tough job on his hands, as the Hoops’ miserable form – their worst at this level since 2006 – has now taken them from playoff contention to just eight points clear of the bottom three ahead of this round.
Home fans have had very little to cheer about this term with QPR failing to secure a league victory on home soil since October (D2, L6). In fact, only three teams have won fewer points on their own turf than QPR’s tally of 19, while just two sides have conceded more than their 23 home goals!
Blackburn
Despite their lofty league position, Blackburn Rovers remain one of the division’s poorest sides on the road, winning just 18 of their 52 points away from Ewood Park. That’s not held Rovers back from sitting inside the top-four though.
However, hitting the back of the net remains Blackburn’s major problem of late, with just one of their last 16 Championship games seeing them score more than once. That came in a 2-0 win at Norwich back in December, but none of their following five away games in the league have ended in victory.
QPR may be inspired by their new manager but Blackburn will fight not to lose any points in this game to remain in the top six. A draw is the most likely outcome but we will give Blackburn the benefit of the doubt and back them with a double chance.
This is the palace where we get a bit crazy and go after the big earnings whenever possible. With QPR’s weak form at home and Blackburn’s slumpy away form, a draw seems to be a very likely outcome. The bookies are favoring a draw over an away win with odds of 3.16 at 1xBet.
January signing Jamal Lowe has directly contributed to three goals since arriving at QPR, but he’s never been on the scoresheet in nine H2H meetings with Blackburn. With Bradley Dack and Ben Brereton Díaz injury doubts, Rovers’ main threat may be Sam Gallagher, who has won six personal H2Hs against QPR the second-most of any opponent in his career.
QPR’s Laird, Wilock, Salter, Dykes, and Balogun are injured.
Blackburn’s Diaz, Dack, Wharton, Kaminski, Mola, and Barnes are injured.
QPR: Dieng; Kayak, Dickie, Dunne, Paal; Field, Dozzell; Lowe, Chair, Iroegbunam; Martin;
Blackburn: Pears; Hyam, Carter, Ayala, Pickering; Travis, Buckley; Thomas, Dolan, Szmodics; Gallagher;
