QPR – WEST HAM PREVIEW AND PREDICTIONS – BETTING STATS

QPR have picked up just 2 points from their first 5 EPL games. They have had a tough run of games, playing Man City, Chelsea and Spurs back to back, picking up just 1 point from those games. 3 of their 5 games have ended with over 2.5 goals and they have averaged 0.6 goals scored per game and 2.2 goals against.

West Ham have had a good start on their return to the EPL. They have lost just one of their 5 ames and have managed 2 wins. They are averaging 1.0 goal scored per game and 0.8 goals conceded, 2 of their 5 matches have ended in over 2.5 Goals.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Despite being the most active team in the transfer market over the summer QPR are in great dangour of being relegated this season unless they can improve quickly. They are currently struggling with injuries with 4 first choice players out, including 3 of their first choice back 4 in Ferdinand, Fabio and Jose Bosingwa. Considering their defensive record has been so poor already this season it is really frightening how bad it can get with a makeshift defence.

West Ham are without their top signing from the summer Andy Carroll who is still out with a hamstring injury. Since his injury West Ham have drawn both their games, scoring just one goal. Carlton Cole should continue to lead the line but he will be under pressure from Maiga unless Cole can get his first goal of the season this week.

QPR – WEST HAM PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

QPR are favourites for this as the home team but I am very worried about their defence for this match. West Ham may not have scored many this year but they can be physical and can cause damage to a weak defence.

I’d go with the value play of a West Ham win at 3.75 with Coral.

QPR – WEST HAM PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

If you aren’t quite confident enough to take West Ham for the win then a look at the Asian handicap market may be best. You can pick up West Ham +0.5 at 1.8, which will give you a win if the game finishes in either a draw or a West Ham win.

QPR – WEST HAM PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

There isn’t much of a difference in price between the over or under 2.5 goals. The Under is a small favourite at 1.92 but I think the value is with the Over at 2.0. Half of the games involving these teams this year has ended over (5 of 10) and 3 of the first choice back 4 are missing for QPR.
