📰 Team News: QPR
Jake Clarke-Salter (Hip injury), Zan Celar (Hamstring injury) and Harvey Vale (Back injury) are unavailable for QPR gaffer Martí Cifuentes.
In our view, The R's will possibly opt for a 4-2-3-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with Paul Nardi, Jimmy Dunne, Liam Morrison, Morgan Fox, Harrison Ashby, Ronnie Edwards, Jack Colback, Michael Frey, Lucas Andersen, Nicolas Madsen and Karamoko Dembele.
ℹ️ Team News: Burnley
Burnley boss Scott Parker has to choose a team with limited availability. Josh Laurent (Ankle injury), Benson Manuel (Achilles tendon problems), Mike Trésor (unknown injury) and Bashir Humphreys (unknown injury) will not be playing here.
From our viewpoint, The Clarets will likely utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with James Trafford, Connor Roberts, CJ Egan-Riley, Maxime Estève, Lucas Pires, Josh Brownhill, Josh Cullen, Marcus Edwards, Hannibal Mejbri, Jaidon Anthony and Zian Flemming.
💭 Prediction
Our thinking is that Queens Park Rangers might need a bit of good fortune to score goals against this Burnley outfit who we think should score at least once to put them ahead.
We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 victory for Burnley when the referee blows for full-time.
It should be a good one.
