QPR v Derby
📅
Kick Off: Friday 14th February at 20:00
🏆
Competition: EFL Championship
Queens Park Rangers host Derby County at Loftus Road on Friday evening.
Marti Cifuentes’ QPR aims to rebound from a midweek 1-0 defeat to Coventry City, but have won 6 of their last 7 home games.
Derby seeks to end a 10-match winless streak under the stewardship of new manager John Eustace.
⭐ QPR v Derby Best Bet
QPR have been a really good home side over the last couple of months. Based on the last 8 games, only league leaders Leeds United have picked up more points on home turf. 6 of those 8 games were wins, and the last 4 of them featured both teams scoring. 75% off The R’s home games have seen both teams score this season.
Derby have only picked up 8 games on the road all season, with just 1 win and 5 draws. They do usually trouble the scoresheet though, having scored in 11 of their 16 away games, and have only kept one clean sheet.
New manager John Eustace only has 1 day to work with his players ahead of this one, which you would think would not be enough to impart any improvement into his team.
🟢 QPR v Derby #WhatOddsPaddy Tip
Michael Frey has 6 Championship goals to his name this season, 5 of which have been scored at Loftus Road.
3 of his 6 goals have come within this time period, in fact, all 3 came in 5 minutes or less.
He hasn’t played more than 70 minutes in the league since Christmas, suggesting he is more effective early on in games.
👕 QPR v Derby Predicted XI
🔍 QPR v Derby Players to Watch
⚪ Ilias Chair
Attacking midfielder Chair has 5 assists to his name this season, 4 of which have come in his last 8 league starts.
He is yet to score this season, but that surely cannot continue, given he has racked up 2.45xG so far this season, hitting the target 40% of the time from 30 shots.
He has the highest combined xG and xA of any QPR player, so looks a good pick for this bet.
🟢 Callum Elder
Callum Elder continues to be priced up too big to ignore for a card.
He has 8 cards this season, which is the same as Ebou Adams and Marcus Harness, but from fewer appearances. He averages 0.45 yellow cards per 90 but is priced here at 9/2, which suggests an 18% chance of being carded.
He’ll be up against Paul Smyth who draws 1.3 fouls per 90.

💻 QPR v Derby Form and Tactics
Marti Cifuentes’ QPR were known last season for being difficult to break down, but that has not quite worked out this season, their record reflecting their position in the table rather than outperforming it.
They’re strong from attacking set pieces, with the 4th most goals per game from them, and the 5th most shots.
John Eustace is the new man in the dugout for Derby, having had impressive spells at Birmingham City and Blackburn Rovers, both of whom he had in and around the play-off positions at the time of his departure.
His biggest task will be improving the attacking threat of The Rams, who have managed the fewest shots on target per game in The Championship.
