Queens Park Rangers
- QPR are 9th in the Championship after taking 11 points from their first seven games.
- Julien Stéphan has certainly impressed with his squad since taking charge in June, implementing a clear playing philosophy with a possession-based, structured build-up, high-tempo attack with an aggressive but selective high press, which will be important for the Queens Park Rangers vs Oxford United prediction.
- Stéphan’s approach has produced a team that is flexible enough to adapt to games and robust enough to have given up just two goals in three games at Loftus Road (0.67 per game).
- Richard Kone has been a key component of QPR’s attacking play, scoring three Championship goals in the current five-game run (W3, D1, L1).
Oxford United
- Oxford United are sitting 22nd after picking up just five points from seven fixtures.
- It has delivered results, but the foundation of defence doesn’t look sturdy, particularly on the road, where Oxford have conceded five goals in just three away games at a rate of 1.67 goals per game.
- Will Lankshear has been a reliable threat from up top for Rowett’s men with three goals in his six Championship appearances to date, scoring two of their last six goals, a factor to consider in our Queens Park Rangers vs Oxford United betting tips.
