QPR
- QPR have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five games (W3, D1, L1).
- R’s have been in fine form of late, coming through a tough run of games by beating Leicester City 4-1 at home and drawing 1-1 at Portsmouth in their last two outings.
Norwich
- Norwich have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five matches (W2, D2, L1).
- The Canaries are in mixed form, having drawn 1-1 at Preston North End and edged past struggling Charlton Athletic 1-0 at home in their last two.
- Norwich have won only two and lost five of their 12 Championship away games this season.
Head-to-Head
QPR have scored an average of 1.7 goals per game against Norwich at Loftus Road and Norwich have averaged 1.0 goals per game as visitors in their last five trips to face the R’s.
Key Players
- Rumarn Burrell (9 goals in 23 appearances for QPR).
- Jovon Makama (8 goals in 20 for Norwich).
Betting Insights
- Queens Park Rangers are favorites at 1.84 to beat Norwich City on Thursday, but the Canaries are a lot more likely at 3.95 than the early odds suggest.
- QPR have conceded 15 goals in 11 home Championship matches this season (1.36 per game).
- Norwich have shipped 19 in 12 Championship away fixtures.
- Hence, the Over 2.5 goals option at 1.65 looks good here with both sides vulnerable at the back.
Prediction
- This is a tough one to call, but the visitors will have enough belief to come away with at least a point.
- QPR have been in much the better form of the two, so we are going to back their superior home record to see them through against a pressing game that may not get as much joy against them as it usually does.
