Brighton vs QPR betting tips and predictions for the Championship fixture. See our three football tips, reasons for each bet and the best odds for the selections.
The first of two Championship games on Tuesday comes from the AMEX as Brighton host struggling QPR. We’ve got three of the best bets for the match which kicks off at 12:30.
Brighton left it late against Birmingham on Saturday to inflict misery on Gianfranco Zola in his first game in charge. The Italian was hoping his side had clung on for a point, but it wasn’t to be. It wasn’t Brighton’s best performance of the season and they could have been further behind had Michael Kieftenbeld found the net instead of the woodwork in the first half. Brighton have terrific spirit though and never give up. Solly March made a difference when he arrived on the scene and Brighton fans will be glad to see him return from injury. His skill and vision created the goal for Anthony Knockaert and March could have done enough to merit a start in this match. They are still hot on the heels of Newcastle and are waiting for the Magpies to slip up. Chris Hughton’s side have been formidable at the AMEX this campaign, conceding just 8 goals all season. They’ve won four of the last five here and will fancy their chances of extending that run.
The fairytale return hasn’t happened for Ian Holloway yet. If he thought dipping back into management would be easy, QPR have shown him otherwise. Since a narrow 2-1 win against ten man Norwich, they have failed to pick up a single point. The Bristolian could be presiding over a 6th consecutive defeat for the R’s and they are slipping closer to the relegation zone. Holloway admitted he doesn’t have a goalscorer in the side and that’s a huge problem at any level. They created numerous chances against Derby, carving out opportunity after opportunity but failing to find a way past Scott Carson. The Rams went up the other end and netted through Tom Ince and it was game over. They haven’t been battered by any side recently, except Ipswich, but a lack of potency is hindering them. One goal in four away games is a very poor return and with Brighton’s cast iron defence, it’s hard to see them finding a way past.
