QPR vs Stoke City Predictions

• Stoke have lost two out of three games since Harry Souttar was lost to injury for the rest of the season.
• QPR have won four and drawn one of their last five Championship games.
• QPR have won five of their last six home Championship fixtures, keeping four clean sheets.

Trust QPR to annexe points against struggling Stoke 

Queens Park Rangers’ home game against Stoke City on Sunday looks like being a pretty straightforward win for Mark Warburton’s in-form side.

The R’s have moved into third place on the back of a run of four wins and a draw from five games played in November. Impressive as that is in a division where only the best achieve consistency, they have won their last three without the services of leading marksman Lyndon Dykes.

Potters without their two most important players

The Socceroos striker is unlikely to be back in time to face Stoke this Sunday, but the visitors will be without an Australian who may be even more important to their dwindling promotion chances.

The Potters were pushing for third spot in the table when they learned of centre-back Harry Souttar’s devastating knee injury sustained while on international duty. Souttar and Nick Powell are the club’s two most important players, so to be without them both now through injury hands the initiative to QPR in a big way.

We’re taking QPR to win this one with the minimum of fuss by a 2-0 margin. The R’s have scored 16 and conceded eight in ten home games to date, but Stoke have not scored in their last two.
