QPR vs Blackburn Rovers Predictions

Tip Reasoning

QPR have scored just four goals at home since the 22nd of October
Under 2.5 goals has been a winner in each of Blackburn’s last six games
Blackburn haven’t scored more than one goal in a game since the 17th of December

New manager bounce

Newly appointed QPR boss Gareth Ainsworth will be looking for a positive result as he takes charge of the Rs for the first time on Saturday. While he hasn’t had long to work with his squad, Ainsworth will expect a basic level of commitment and desire that became synonymous with his Wycombe Wanderers side.

Saturday’s visitors Blackburn are on an unbeaten run stretching across their last six league games, and will be looking to continue this as they visit Loftus Road. Four of those six ended level, and facing a QPR team looking to impress their new manager, a correct score prediction of 1-1 looks likely here.

A lack of goal threat

QPR have been poor in front of goal lately, especially at home, having scored just four goals at Loftus Road since their last win there on the 22nd of October. Their opponents, meanwhile, haven’t scored more than once in any game since the 17th of December, and this looks set to continue as they come up against a freshly-organised defense, which the new manager will be demanding plenty from.

On top of all of this, under 2.5 goals has been a winning tip in each of Blackburn Rovers’ last six games, and this trend certainly looks set to continue here.
