QPR vs Wolverhampton Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

These two clubs’ seasons have mirrored each other to some extent. Both QPR and Wolves started the campaign with an element of fresh optimism but results quickly started going badly and both clubs dismissed their managers in November. Both Ian Holloway and Paul Lambert are just 2 games into their reigns and both are trying to bounce back from bitterly disappointing weekend results.

QPR were well beaten 3-0 at Ipswich to emphatically end any honeymoon period Holloway might have had on his return to the West London club. He did win his first game at home to Norwich but benefited from the visitors having a man sent off in just the 2nd minute. QPR had won just 1 of their previous 7 home league games though and are averaging just 1.33 points per game at Loftus Road this term so it’s hardly a fortress and there is hope for the visitors, despite their awful form.

Wolves are now without a win in 9 matches and over 2 months of football so it has been a very long Autumn for the Black Country side. They are yet to score in 2 matches under Lambert and are now only outside the relegation zone on goal difference. Clearly then confidence is not high in the Wolves camp and it’s hard to make a case for them bagging maximum points here. However,the Scot is an experienced Championship campaigner and his side have been grinding out results on the road.

They’ve drawn 3 of their last 4 Championship away games and 44% of their games on the road in the league this season have finished level. They also boast a pretty good recent record at this ground so they look capable of at least frustrating QPR and grabbing a point from the game. Three of QPR’s last 7 home matches have ended in 1-1 draws and neither side really has that one player with something a bit special, who you think could produce a moment of magic to win this.

Therefore, backing the draw at 12/5 looks to be the best approach to take here.
