QPR v Luton

QPR vs Luton Town Preview

QPR registered a welcome 3-1 home win against Watford in the Championship on New Years Day and The R's will be eager to replicate that result here on Monday night at Loftus Road when they renew hostilities against rivals Luton Town with the hosts looking to lift themselves up into a mid-table position with another three points.

Luton Town by contrast slumped to a third league defeat on the trot in the domestic second tier on New Years Day when The Hatters were dealt a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Norwich City and the visitors will be desperate to avoid a fourth league defeat on the bounce on Monday night.

After having had to endure a virtually barren 15-match sequence earlier in this season's Championship campaign which yielded just one win but also seven defeats in the process, QPR have turned their season around in recent times as Martí Cifuentes's side have slipped to just one further loss in their subsequent 10 games overall.

In addition, QPR have collected five wins and four draws which have contributed to QPR's recent revival and also their current improved league position of 16th place in the Championship table.

Results on home soil at Loftus Road have also benefitted from The R's turnaround in form as the hosts bring a five-game unbeaten sequence into this clash which includes winning their last four home games on the trot.

Luton Town's dismal return to the Championship continued on New Years Day as Rob Edwards's side slumped to a 1-0 loss at home to Norwich City making it three league defeats on the trot for The Hatters, leaving the visitors in a disappointing 20th place in the English second tier table.

Following relegation from the Premier League at the end of the last campaign, Luton Town were expected to be amongst the contenders for at least a play-off spot this season but form and results have not panned out that way so far for Rob Edwards's side.

Indeed, league wins have been hard to come by for the visitors as The Hatters have registered just seven wins within their total of 25 matches played to date this term whilst also being handed no fewer than 14 defeats as well.

Results away from home though have been Luton Town's achilles heel this season as the visitors have now lost their last nine away games on the trot in the Championship along with conceding two goals or more in eight of these nine outings as well.

QPR v Luton Town Verdict

QPR's recent resurgence in form should see The R's over the line here at Loftus Road against a poor-travelling Luton Town outfit in what could be a low-scoring affair.

Therefore, our main bet will be QPR win @ 2.37

Other side bets worth considering:

QPR win & Under 2.5 goals @ 4.75

Correct Score: QPR 2-0 @ 11.00
