Blackburn vs QPR Match Preview

Blackburn is ranked at 11th place with 40 points and comes after some shaky performances where they got a single win two draws and two losses in the last five matches. The win though is the most recent and it was a big one by a 5-0 result against Sheffield Wed. Maybe this will be a turning point for them and be able to back that up now. They have scored at least a goal in each of the last five matches, totaling for 10 goals and averaging two goals per game. In front of their fans, they are unbeaten in the last nine games and managed to find the back of the net on eight occasions.

QPR, on the other hand, is ranked at the 14th place with 38 points. They come after two wins and three losses over the last five matches, but in the past weekend, they played in the FA Cup where they got knocked out by Sheffield Wednesday. Still, they managed to score in that game and they have done so in nine of the last ten matches across all competitions. In fact, QPR has the best offensive side from the bottom half teams with 46 goals scored in 28 games. I think we are to expect another typical offensive play by them here.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Blackburn will try to win at home in order to shorten the distance from the playoff zone and they have been more than decent here, so they should score at least once. QPR is well known for their attacking power, but also are a poor defensiv side, so I think they might score a goal here but also concede. Over 2.5 goals to be scored is my call in this one.
