QPR V READING PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS AND FACTS

QPR have had a terrible season so far and sit bottom of the EPL with just 3 points after 9 matches.  They are yet to win a game yet and are in big trouble of going down unless they can change their fortunes quickly.  This game is a must win and is a classic relegation 6 pointer where both sides will be desperate to pick up the points.  QPR has managed just 1 draw in their last 6 matches, with 5 losses and 4 of the games have finished with over 2.5 goals.

Reading has also had a poor start to the season and are in dire need of wins.  They are in 18^th position with just 4 points from 8 matches.  Recently they have looked in better form drawing 3 of their last 4 matches and they know how to score goals managing 7 over the 4 games.  Their big problem is their defence where they have conceded over 2 goals per game on average which is far too many if they hope to stay up in the EPL this year.  3 of their last 4 games have ended with over 2.5 goals.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

This is a huge match for QPR and if they fail to win it could be time up for manager Mark Hughes.  It seems Hughes still doesn’t know his best 11 and his constant changing of the team isn’t allowing the players to gel, which is especially important when 11 players were signed during the summer.

Reading could be deflated by their crazy 7-5 defeat in the League Cup against Arsenal where they were 4-0 up in the first half before falling away in the second.  The 120 minutes will be tough on any player who played the full amount and expects to play this weekend, never mind the mental pain of losing such a large lead.

This match could be a turning point for either team, a win here will give either team a fighting chance to stay up and they’ll take huge confidence from it.

QPR V READING PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

QPR are strong favourites here despite being bottom of the league and I think that is fair.  On paper they have a better quality of player than Reading but the big question is how disciplined they stay and whether they can work together for the good of the team.  QPR has also had a full week to prepare which will give them an advantage.

I think QPR are the best bet for a win here, and you can back them at 1.86 with Pinnacle.

QPR - READING PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

If you disagree with my reasoning and feel Reading have shown enough character this season to get a result then the Asian Handicap market is the place to look.  Reading are certainly capable of scoring goals but they struggle to hold onto the ball in midfield and their defence has been poor.

You can back Reading +0.5, which will win if the match finishes in either a draw or a Reading win.  The best price available for that is 2.08 with BetVictor.

QPR - READING PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

3 of QPR’s last 5 matches have ended with over 2.5 goals, and with Reading 4 of their last 5 have been over.

Despite this the Over is not too much of a favourite and you can get a tempting 1.87 at Pinnacle for Over 2.5 Goals.
