What to expect

We expect about 1.6 goals from QPR and 1.1 from Derby, so QPR come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

QPR come into this on three straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: QPR or Draw. This covers QPR or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 74 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.23, which works out at about 81 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓QPR have won one of their last five.
✓Derby have won one of their last five.
✓Three of the last five meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
✓Both teams scored in one of the last five meetings.
