QPR vs Huddersfield Betting Tips

David Wagner is starting to make an impact at the John Smith’s Stadium after a shaky start to his reign. They were 3-1 winners against Preston on Boxing Day with Nahki Wells netting twice to give the Terriers a 3rd win in 5 matches and they have averaged 2 goals per game in that period, scoring in all 5 games so Wagner has got them looking far more dangerous in the final third.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has yet to have quite the same effect on QPR and will be a little disappointed to have only picked up 3 points from his opening 4 games. His first defeat came on Boxing Day in cruel circumstances. Leading 1-0 thanks to a Junior Hoilett strike, Rangers conceded twice late on to fall to a 2-1 defeat at Portman Road.

It has been a tough start for the Dutchman though, given 3 of his opening 4 games were against sides in the top six so a home game with 19th place Huddersfield should be a good opportunity to secure 3 points. Goals are likely here given the Terriers have adopted a more attacking approach since their change in manager and given that QPR still possess some impressive creative players at this level at least.

There have been 10 goals in the last 2 matches involving Huddersfield and backing there to be over 2.5 goals in this one at 11/10 might be the way to go.

Although they are only 14th and are under-achieving, QPR have a strong home record. They’ve only been beaten once at Loftus Road in the league this season and are unbeaten in 8 matches. There have been a few too many draws in there but against a Huddersfield side that conceded 4 goals on their last visit to West London when they faced Brentford less than 2 weeks ago, QPR should get enough chances to win this one.

There are likely to be goals at both ends but consider backing QPR to win 2-1 at 8/1.
