QPR v Leeds

QPR vs Leeds United Preview

QPR alleviated some of their relegation worries last weekend in the Championship when the London club registered a welcome 1-0 home win against Preston NE which has helped The R's up into 18th place in the Championship table, while Leeds United further enhanced their automatic promotion prospects with a 4-3 win away from home at Middlesbrough on Monday night and the Yorkshire club will go top of the division with a win at Loftus Road on Friday night.

QPR had previously stumbled to defeats at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City whilst also having to settle for a point in a 1-1 draw away from home at Plymouth Argyle in their preceding three games overall in the English second tier but last week's win will give Marti Cifuentes' side a welcome boost ahead of Friday night's clash with high-flying Leeds United.

However, QPR's inconsistent streak in the Championship has been well documented and this is further underlined by the fact that The R's have managed to capture just three wins from their last nine games overall in the second tier which have been collected against Birmingham City, Swansea City and Preston NE respectively.

Three defeats within these last nine games though suggest QPR could struggle to keep up with an in-form and confident Leeds United side who now have promotion in their sights.

Leeds United had also stumbled to a couple of defeats in recent times in the Championship as the Yorkshire club suffered losses at the hands of Coventry City and Blackburn Rovers respectively which had looked like impacting Leeds' push for automatic promotion.

Monday night though saw Leeds United register a vital and impressive 4-3 win away from home at the Riverside Stadium against Middlesbrough which will help to lift Daniel Farke's side as they prepare for this upcoming trip down to the nation's capital on Friday night with Leeds United expected to be highly motivated to grab all three points in this encounter.

The bigger picture shows Leeds United have suffered just these two defeats out of their last 19 matches in the Championship and having also picked up no fewer than 14 wins during this excellent period of results, Leeds United look to be in the driving seat ahead of this clash at Loftus Road.

To make matters worse for QPR, Leeds United have lost just once in their previous nine outings on the road, collecting six wins along the way.

QPR v Leeds United Verdict

QPR know they are still not completely out of the woods yet with regards possible relegation but Leeds United's need may be greater here and having won the earlier corresponding fixture 1-0, Leeds United look to hold the edge again here on Friday night as well.

Therefore, our main bet will be Leeds Utd win @ 1.65
