QPR vs Brentford predictions and Championship betting tips for this Friday night’s fixture with the best odds and three free bet selections.
It’s a West London derby on Friday evening in the Championship as Brentford make the short trip to Loftus Road. We’ve got the best three bets for the match.
This is one of several West London derbies which now take place in the Championship each season, Brentford travel to QPR on Friday night. Dean Smith’s side have hit a bit of a buffer recently and he wasn’t happy with their loss to Barnsley at the weekend. They created plenty of chances, especially late in the game, but they couldn’t find a way past Adam Davies. They’ll be looking to bounce back from that disappointment but their away form hasn’t been good enough this campaign. Just the one victory on their travels surprisingly came at the AMEX against Brighton.
QPR have stuck by manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and have been treading water in midtable for most of the season. Consistency is needed from the Rs. Taking the 6-0 loss to Newcastle, they’ve been pretty decent at home and picked up three points here against Bristol City just over a week ago. At the weekend they lost by a single goal to Sheffield Wednesday, but were unlucky and created numerous chances to get back into the game. They perhaps deserved a draw in that match. Three of their home matches this season have ended with a 1-1 scoreline including recent fixtures against Reading and Birmingham.
QPR vs Brentford Predictions
I think QPR are improving gradually and they have a good record in these matches. They recently won at Fulham and I think they can take all three points against a slightly off-colour Brentford side so a home win is my first QPR vs Brentford betting tip for this match.

Over/Under 2.5 Goals Tips
QPR have been involved in a lot of low scoring affairs recently and just one of their last 6 games has ended with three or more goals. Brentford have scored just three goals in their last four away matches so I am going for under 2.5 goals as my second QPR vs Brentford prediction.

Anytime Goalscorer Tips
QPR had numerous chances on Saturday against Sheffield Wednesday with Tjarron Chery probably guilty of wasting the best ones. If he gets offered as many opportunities this time around, he is likely to put one away and this anytime goalscorer tip completes Friday’s QPR vs Brentford predictions.

QPR vs Brentford Team News
Jack Robinson is back in contention for the home side. The former Liverpool left back has been out with a serious knee injury, but is available for selection for this derby match. He will fight it out with youngster Niko Hamalainen for the left back spot.
Meanwhile Jake Bidwell remains on the sidelines with a dislocated shoulder.
Harlee Dean returned for a place on the bench on Saturday and will be pushing for a start. Dean Smith is unlikely to make too many chances.
Josh Clarke signed a new contract recently and played in the second half against Barnsley, he’ll be hoping for some game time here. As will Josh McEachran who could replace Sully Kai Kai.
Alan Judge is a long term absentee.
QPR vs Brentford Head to Head
It’s been QPR who have had the dominance in this fixture recently. They’ve won the last two meetings at Loftus Road. This includes a 3-0 win in March.
Brentford did beat QPR in December 2015 though at Griffin Park where a single goal was enough to give the Bees the win.
QPR have only lost this fixture once since 2001.
QPR vs Brentford Betting Odds
There isn’t much to choose between these sides on the outrights. The prices vary from bookmaker to bookmaker, but QPR can be backed at around 7/4 or 13/8. Brentford are 8/5 with many firms, but can be found as big as 15/8 with Coral.
Scott Hogan leads the way in the goalscoring market. He’s around 4/1 to score first in this match.
