Fulham vs QPR predictions and Championship betting tips for this weekend’s London derby in the second tier including the best odds for each pick from our tipster.
There’s a West London derby at lunchtime on Saturday as QPR make the short trip to Craven Cottage. We’ve got the best football betting tips for the 12:45 kick off.
Neither of these teams have managed a victory since the end of August and they’ll each be looking to pick up three points going into the International Break. Fulham’s impressive start has petered out slightly, but they still appear to be a solid outfit, who are capable of picking up points against the division’s bigger sides. QPR have been somewhat more erratic with a 6-0 defeat to Newcastle included in their last five results. They picked up another point in midweek, but they need to start winning if they are to climb the table. The newspaper revelations about manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink won’t have helped going into this crucial match.
Fulham vs QPR Predictions
Both of these sides are lacking confidence at the moment and Fulham’s recent 0-4 battering here at the hands of Bristol City puts me off a bet on the Cottagers. Many people will be writing QPR off after the news about JFH this week, but I think they can pick up another point here as they have tightened up since conceding 6 to the Toon Army so my first Fulham vs QPR prediction is for the match to end a draw.
Draw – 5/2 with Stan James: BET NOW.
Both Teams to Score Tips
QPR may have tightened up but they haven’t a clean sheet since in 6 competitive matches. Fulham don’t score enough, but I think they can find a way through this QPR backline so we’re getting on both teams to score for this weekend’s second football tip on Fulham vs QPR.
Both Teams to Score? Yes – 8/11 with Betfred: BET NOW.
Anytime Goalscorer Prediction
Sebastian Polter hit the equaliser for QPR in midweek and I fancy the Austrian to make it two in a week here so our final Fulham vs QPR betting tip is Polter to score anytime at odds of 5/2 with bet365.
Sebastian Polter anytime goalscorer – 5/2 with bet365: BET NOW.
Team News
Kevin McDonald’s recent indiscretion means that he misses this game through suspension and that may leave Fulham with less bite in midfield. Floyd Ayite could miss this one as could Tomas Kalas who is looking to shake off a recent injury. Full back Ryan Fredericks is a long term absentee.
Fulham need goals and bringing Chris Martin into the side could be the answer.
A real blow for QPR was losing Jake Bidwell to an injury in midweek. He could be out for a number of months. Joel Lynch should fill in at full back as Jack Robinson is also missing.
James Perch, Jordan Cousins and Yeni N’Gbakoto are also missing for this.
Fulham vs QPR Head to Head Stats
It’s the Cottagers who have dominated this fixture recently. They won 3-1 at Loftus Road last season despite going through a rotten run of form. They also hit QPR for four here when they last met at Craven Cottage.
QPR haven’t beaten their local rivals since December 2012 and they haven’t won here this millennium.
Fulham vs QPR Betting Odds
Fulham are the favourites at around even money which isn’t a surprise as they have dominated this fixture recently. The stories surrounding JFH at QPR haven’t helped and have pushed the visitors out to around 11/4 or 3/1.
Chris Martin is the favourite in the goalscorer market, but he isn’t absolutely certain to start. Matt Smith and Sone Aluko aren’t far behind, but Fulham’s strikers haven’t been firing since August.
