Brentford vs Queens Park Rangers
Griffin Park will hold the 27th week of the Championship Division between Brentford vs QPR. The host is determined to secure full points in order to maintain competition at the top. The struggle began Saturday (11/1).
Brentford is indeed worthy of pursuing the mission because it currently landed at number 3 with 43 points, 9 points behind the top two participants and only 3 points ahead of Millwall in rank 7. Therefore, they must continue to aim at maximum results.
On Saturday (4/1) they had just entertained Stoke City in the FA Cup third round and made it through to a single goal by Emilliano Marcondes (43 ‘). This result also made them more confident as their sixth consecutive win at Griffin Park, even scoring 15 goals, 4 clean sheets, and conceding only 2 times.
On the other hand, QPR also did not want to lose the threat of spreading with a landslide victory over Cardiff City (6-1) and Swansea City (6-1) in the FA Cup. It should be noted, the two matches were all played as the host, while the last 6 away matches only won 1 time against Birmingham City (0-2), the rest drew with Derby County (1-1), even losing to Leeds Utd (2- 0), Fulham (2-1), Barnsley (5-3) and Reading (1-0).
In other words, a trip to Griffin Park will be a real test for Jordan Hugill et al. Unfortunately, at the end of last October they were humiliated 1-3 as the host, while the last four visits to Griffin have always been toppled with a score of 1-0, 3-1, 2-1, and 3-0. With a record like this, Brentford is likely to be able to achieve their goals, while leaving QPR which is still scattered in rank 15.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.64
