The trend of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games featuring Preston North End has been evident recently. Checking on their last six outings shows that it has happened 5 times. In these clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal aggregate of 6 while Preston North End have scored 7. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily follow through here, of course.

📰 Team News: QPR

The QPR manager Martí Cifuentes will be happy not to have any fitness worries at all before this game with a completely healthy squad to pick from.

We think that The R's look set to make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation for this one featuring Asmir Begovic, Jimmy Dunne, Steve Cook, Jake Clarke-Salter, Morgan Fox, Isaac Hayden, Sam Field, Chris Willock, Lucas Andersen, Ilias Chair and Lyndon Dykes.

ℹ️ Team News: Preston North End

Due to a mostly full-strength group, there’s only the sole fitness worry for the Preston North End boss Ryan Lowe to be concerned with. Finlay Cross-Adair (traffic accident) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that The Lilywhites seem most likely to make use of a 3-4-1-2 system, giving starts to Freddie Woodman, Jordan Storey, Liam Lindsay, Andrew Hughes, Alan Browne, Ryan Ledson, Noah Mawene, Robert Brady, M. Frøkjær-Jensen, Emil Riis Jakobsen and Will Keane.

🔮 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Preston North End are certainly able to find the net against this Queens Park Rangers side, although it probably shouldn’t be as many as they will have scored against them.

We’re tipping a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Queens Park Rangers at the end of this one. Let’s just see how this one goes.
