5th placed Bristol City will entertain mid-table occupants QPR at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon as the hosts look to break a three-game winless run in the Championship having suffered a loss and involved in back-to-back draws in recent weeks.
Following impressive wins against Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday, Bristol City’s form has declined somewhat in recent times as The Robins slipped to a heavy 3-1 defeat at home to Oxford United before being held to stalemates against Preston NE and Ipswich Town in 0-0 and 1-1 draws.
The bigger picture shows Gerhard Struber’s side have now managed to capture just two wins within their last eight games in all competitions but the hosts still remain unbeaten at home this season with a record of 1-2-1 6/6.
QPR have been slowly but steadily climbing the Championship table as the London club bring a decent looking five-match unbeaten run in the English second tier to this Saturday’s encounter with Bristol City at Ashton Gate.
Despite being previously handed losses at the hands of Watford and Coventry City, the latter being a 7-1 thrashing, QPR have since steadied the ship by collecting wins against Charlton Athletic, Wrexham and Stoke City along with gaining points in draws with Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford United.
In addition, the London club are unbeaten in each of their last four meetings against Bristol City (W1, D3) and given QPR’s recent resurgence in form overall, Julien Stéphan’s side look capable of at least keeping things close down in the west country on Saturday afternoon.
The Betting Verdict
QPR have lost by two goals or more just once in their last eight outings on the road in the Championship and The R’s look a good outside bet here.
The Pick :
Bristol City 1-1 QPR
