QPR vs Brentford Predictions

• Brentford have won the last four meetings between the sides including a 2-1 victory in November’s reverse fixture.
• The Bees have won eight of their 14 away trips this term, losing just twice.
• The visitors were 21 games unbeaten in the Championship prior to their shock 0-2 defeat against Barnsley on Sunday.

Back the Bees to Respond Against Rivals

After seeing their mammoth 21 league game unbeaten streak ended by Barnsley on Sunday, promotion favourites Brentford are backed to respond when they take on adversaries QPR at Loftus Road.

The Bees’ reverse against the Tykes was undoubtedly the biggest shock of the weekend in the football league and no one can deny that Thomas Franke’s side were a fair few notches below their best.

Nonetheless, a defeat was inevitable at some stage for a team who have been amazingly consistent this season and we expect them to immediately hit back in midweek.

QPR are flying after four wins from five but there is a significant gap in quality between these teams and Brentford should bank the points if able to return to something like their best.

The Bees racked up eight wins from nine (D1) before Sunday and it’s hard to imagine that one bad result is going to provoke a downturn. Brentford have won their last four meetings against the Superhoops and the smart money is on them to extend that sequence here.

The two sides tend to generate high scoring games with the last nine all producing over 2.5 goals, so alongside a Brentford victory we’re also forecasting a 1-3 correct score which will put the Bees firmly back on track in their quest for automatic promotion.
