Preston vs QPR – Free Betting Tips & Predictions

Preston blitzed Blackburn 4-1 last weekend. Can North End take another big-name scalp when they host QPR on Saturday? Read our top predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

Preston to Win

Preston produced a show-stopping and coupon-busting result last weekend when they hammered Blackburn 4-1 in a brilliant Lancashire derby performance and North End should be in confident mood for the visit of QPR on Saturday. Rangers were beaten 3-0 by Burnley in their last outing and with their pride dented, they could provide fragile opposition again at Deepdale.

Over 2.5 Goals

Both of Preston and QPR’s first games back after the mid-season break feature at least three goals and excitement levels could be high again when they face off at Deepdale on Saturday. Each of the clubs’ encounters last term produced over 2.5 goals and there should be enough attacking intent on display this weekend to ensure the net ripples on multiple occasions again.

Ched Evans to Score Anytime

Veteran forward Ched Evans carried his excellent conversion rate from before the break into the second half of the campaign when he bagged a brace in Preston’s 4-1 win at Blackburn last week. All five of Evans’s Championship strikes this season have arrived in his last three appearances in the Championship and the 33-year-old can do some more damage on Saturday.

Preston vs QPR News & Injuries

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Saturday’s Championship showdown between Preston and QPR below.

Preston

Preston’s squad is in good shape at present and striker Troy Parrott is listed as their only concern at present. The Republic of Ireland international isn’t expected to return to action from a hamstring injury until late December. North End could climb to as high as third spot with a win on Saturday.

QPR

QPR have a fully fit squad to choose from this week giving manager Neil Critchley plenty to work with as he tries to pick a winning team. Rangers were swatted aside 3-0 by Burnley on their return to competitive action last weekend and that defeat sent them down to ninth spot in the Championship standings.
