On September 20, QPR will play against Stoke City in the sixth round of the Championship. Here’s a look at the best bets for this match.
QPR
QPR started their season slowly, managing only one point from their first three games. However, they bounced back with two wins and now sit in the middle of the table, just two points behind the top six.
In their last match, QPR won 3-1 away against a newly promoted team, taking advantage of their opponent’s missed chances. While they struggle with consistency, their games tend to produce many goals.
Stoke City
