- BTTS (No): Although both sides have scored in all of their games so far, we expect a more cautious approach to a midweek game. (5/4)
- Anytime goalscorers: Rumarn Burrell (13/8), Yousef Salech (85/40), Ilias Chair (12/5) and Joel Colwill (5/2) are all worth considering.
QPR Vs Cardiff Prediction
So far this term, QPR have flown out of the traps and will be keen to register their first home win of the season. Owing to Cardiff’s relatively poor record against the Super Hoops and their lack of a league victory this term, we are going to predict a win for Julien Stephan’s side.
Prediction: QPR 3-0 Cardiff (16/1)
