QPR vs Preston North End Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Joseph King in Championship Predictions
Matchday 22 in the English Championship sees 18th-place QPR hosting 16th-placed Preston at Loftus Road. Here’s our prediction for this match between the Hoops and the Lilywhites!
It looks to be another long season for QPR fans who have had to watch their team fail to finish above 18th for the last two years in a row. The hosts currently find themselves five points above the relegation zone after four victories, 10 draws and seven defeats.
However, things could be starting to turn around as QPR enter this contest boasting a six-match unbeaten run with three wins and three draws. Their last outing saw them fortunate to escape with a 1-1 away draw after managing just 0.16 expected goals (xG) compared to Bristol’s 1.99 xG.
Preston almost pulled off an upset victory last weekend before conceding in stoppage time to ultimately draw 1-1 at home against Leeds. The result extended their unbeaten run to six games, although with five ending in stalemates.
It was yet another draw for Preston North End who are tied with West Brom for the most in the division at 11. The visitors have only managed a single victory on their travels in the Championship so far, drawing five and losing the remaining four.

Our QPR vs Preston North End Prediction
QPR come into this one as slight favorites given their recent pair of home victories. However, the underlying metrics haven’t been all that impressive for the Hoops, meaning we should be in for a tightly contested match on Saturday.
Preston have made themselves a tough team to beat but have lacked that final cutting edge to convert on the full three points. They’re tied for the most draws in the Championship (with QPR possessing the third most) and we could be in for a similar type of result here. Our QPR vs Preston prediction: draw at full time.
