QPR vs Burton Albion Predictions

It’s only 4 weeks ago that Burton were above QPR in the Championship table but right now, there is only one of these sides that looks in immediate relegation danger and it’s not the Londoners. Ian Holloway’s men have found some form at last while Burton are looking inept in front of goal and seem to have even lost the ability to grind out draws, which makes a home win look like the obvious bet here.

QPR’s resurgence started with a 2-1 win at Wolves on New Year’s Eve and that has sparked a bright start to 2017. They’ve taken 10 points from their last 4 Championship matches, having lost 6 in a row prior to that. A change in personnel has played its part with some younger players coming in and really helping to rejuvenate this side. One of those, 20 year old Ryan Manning, netted the winner last time out and he hadn’t even made a single first-team appearance prior to the trip to Wolves but has started every game since.

Suddenly QPR are playing with real belief and the fans are onside, which can make all the difference. By contrast Burton look deflated and they are starting to look like strong relegation candidates. They’ve lost 8 of their last 9 matches in all competitions and all of their 4 games in 2017 have resulted in defeats to nil. You have to go way back to November for their last Championship point against a side other than bottom club Rotherham.

Their away record all season has been poor in truth. The Brewers average just 0.57 points per game away from home, which is the 2nd worst in the league. They’ve only managed one away clean sheet all season and have found goals very hard to come by of late.

With Burton having failed to score in 8 of their last 14 competitive games and QPR in really good form, backing QPR to win at 23/20 looks to offer really good value here.
