Stoke City vs QPR Predictions

Stoke are the bet at home to QPR on Saturday, with the visitors having lost three times in their last four away games in the Championship.

Stoke are eighth in the Championship, three places above QPR, but just two points separate the two sides. Both teams have won more games than they’ve lost this season, with Stoke on 12 wins and QPR having won 11.

Stoke have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just 10 goals in 12 Championship games – an average of 0.83 goals per game. No other team has conceded fewer goals than Stoke’s 23 in 26 games overall.

They are going for a third successive Championship win.

The visitors are out of form. QPR have not won any of their last four Championship away games, and have failed to win six of their last seven on the road.

The visitors have looked vulnerable in defence. QPR have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four Championship away games, and have kept just two clean sheets in their last 11 matches.

A 2-0 home win for Stoke looks a decent correct-score option. Five of their last seven Championship games have had fewer than three goals, and they were 2-0 winners against Norwich in their last league game.
