What to expect

We expect about 1.6 goals from QPR and 1.1 from Preston, 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 two straight draws. Preston come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.6-1.1), and we make both teams to score about 54%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 54 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.79, which works out at about 56 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

What the numbers say
QPR have won two of their last five.
Preston have won one of their last five.
Three of the last five meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
