QPR vs Hull City Predictions

• QPR have scored seven goals in the three Championship matches that Chris Willock has started, winning two and drawing one.
• At least three goals have been scored in three of QPR’s last five Championship matches and three of Hull’s last four.
• Hull City lost their last away league game 5-2 at West Brom.

Willock can inspire Rangers to another thrilling win 

Two of the sharpest shooters in the Championship are in direct opposition at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on Tuesday when Chris Willock’s QPR entertain Oscar Estpunian’s Hull City. Willock might be about the most important player to any Championship team right now – as can be seen from Rangers’ results with and without the Englishman this season.

Michael Beale’s men have taken seven points from the three league games he has started and one point from the three he has missed through injury. As long as his club don’t cave in to a massive pre-deadline bid for him, and there are no signs of that happening, then he should inspire them to a victory on Tuesday night.

That’s not to overlook the ability of Hull to score and give it a real good go under Shota Arveladze. They lack finesse in defence – but believe they can outscore anyone now they have Estupinian in their ranks. The Colombian, who scored 15 goals in the Portuguese Primeira Liga last season, has managed seven goals in 444 minutes of Championship action so far – with a shooting accuracy of just under 70%.

Tigers are not so tigrish in defence

There’s no doubt the high goal expectancy of this fixture as Hull are coming off a recent 5-2 away drubbing by West Brom. That is the only one of their six opponents so far not to exceed their actual goal output with their xG.

QPR can therefore feel confident that even if they concede a couple, there will still be a way back into the game.  A 3-2 home win must be a consideration given QPR have already had two within their first half dozen league games, but 2-1 seems a bit more likely when it comes to the correct score forecast.
