Championship side QPR host Fulham from the Premier League in the FA Cup third round. Covid is again playing a role in this game with Fulham having an outbreak in their club. The Premier League side haven't played a game since Boxing Day but the strength of their squad is improving as the days go by. They will be upset at having missed recent fixtures as their form had been improving. Fulham are still in the relegation zone and have no wins in their last five matches. However, the last four have been drawn and that includes games against Liverpool and Southampton. The big difference in their form is the reduction in the number of goals being conceded. Only four in five matches and three from the penalty spot. Changes will of course be made for this game but only two of their last nine games haven't had under 2.5 goals scored in them.

QPR are in relegation trouble in the Championship, so this cup tie will take their mind off that for a few days. They are 19th in the table and only two points above the drop zone. QPR have no wins in their last nine matches and there's talk of another managerial change. A major problem for them is in scoring goals with just three in the last seven. Of those three, the last two were an own goal and a penalty. Home form has seen them win one of the last six with just a single goal scored and none in the last three. A bet on under 2.5 goals in this game is the suggested wager.
