QPR vs Sunderland Predictions

• QPR have won their last three home games in all competitions.
• QPR have scored exactly two goals in five of their last eight home matches.
• Sunderland have lost three of their last four trips to QPR.

Hoops enjoy excellent home form

QPR fell to their third defeat in six games at the weekend as they allowed Peterborough to come from behind and take three points but they remain a formidable foe on home soil and they should have enough about them to get past League One outfit Sunderland at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.

The Hoops have won their last three home games in the Championship and beat Everton on penalties here in the last round of the Carabao Cup. They have lost just once at home all season and have scored an impressive 16 goals in nine outings.

Sunderland are unlikely to be pushovers here but the League One promotion hopefuls saw their five-game winning streak ended on Saturday and they have lost three of their last four trips to QPR.

Chair to lead hosts to victory

I’m backing the hosts to make their quality known on Tuesday and, with QPR scoring exactly twice in five of their last eight home games and Sunderland scoring in all-but-two of their trips away this season, a 2-1 correct score prediction appeals.

Those looking to dip into the anytime goalscorer market should consider Ilias Chair for the hosts. He is QPR’s top scorer this season and five of his six goals have come on home soil. With five goals from his last five appearances he looks excellent value to continue his purple patch.
