Reading vs QPR Match Preview

Reading picked up an important three points at the weekend seeing off Derby 3-0 helped by the Rams playing 86 minutes with ten men. It means it is three without defeat for the Berkshire side and only loss in their last five.

At the Madesjki Stadium, the Royals victory over Derby ended a run of back-to-back home defeats for Mark Bowen and his side. It means though that they have recorded four victories from their last six in the Championship.

QPR were held to a 2-2 draw by Charlton last time out after twice taking the lead on to be pegged back twice. It is just one defeat in the last five for the London outfit but not enough wins with just two from their last 11.

Away from Loftus Road, the Rs were involved in an eight-goal thriller on their last road trip going down 5-3 at Oakwell to Barnsley. It is three defeats in the last five on the road for Rangers and just two victories in the last seven.

The home side are the favourites to win this fixture and it is hard to that with four victories from their last six at this ground. QPR can blow hot or cold and it is hard to get a handle on so backing them does not appeal.

A better bet is siding with goals though both teams to score and over 2.5 goals are already too short to be backing. Both teams have scored over two-thirds of their goals after the break so take the second to be the highest scoring half and a more speculative play on both teams to score after the interval.
