Today's Betting Tips for Cardiff vs QPR

Can QPR win in Cardiff for the third time on the spin when they cross the border into Wales to play the Bluebirds on Boxing Day? Read our top predictions for this week’s fixture below.

QPR Double Chance

QPR nicked an excellent 1-0 win at Preston last weekend and reclaimed their position in the Championship playoff places and Rangers will head to Wales on Boxing Day for their clash with Cardiff carrying renewed confidence. The Hoops have enjoyed playing in Cardiff, where they have won on each of their last two visits and QPR have the tools to complete the league double over the Bluebirds on Monday. For more cautious bettors, a stake on Rangers in the double chance market could be a more palatable move.

Under 2.5 Goals

QPR made full use of a one-man advantage to beat Cardiff 3-0 back in October, however, encounters between the clubs in Wales have been much tighter affairs in recent campaigns. Indeed, each of the last two meetings between the sides in the Welsh capital featured just a single goal and margins could be similarly slender when they collide again on Boxing Day. Rangers are averaging just 1.0 goal per game on the road this term and a wager on under 2.5 goals seems to fit the circumstances snuggle here.

Cardiff vs QPR Team News & Injuries

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Monday’s Championship contest between Cardiff and QPR below.

Cardiff

Attacker Isaak Davies is still nursing a knee injury and he won't be back in the frame for Cardiff until the New Year. City have resumed their campaign with successive draws against Stoke and Blackpool, and they are still placed perilously close to the Championship's drop zone.

Predicted Lineup for Cardiff: Allsop – Romeo, Ng, Kipre, O'Dowda – Ralls, Wintle, Harris, Robinson, Whyte – Etete

QPR

QPR have no injury worries to trouble them ahead of Monday's game and they could select the same XI that won at Preston last time out. That victory snapped a six-game run without a win for Rangers and it dragged them back inside the playoff positions to boot.

Predicted Lineup for QPR: Dieng – Laird, Dunne, Clarke-Salter, Paal – Dozzell, Field, Iroegbunam – Admoah, Willock, Dykes

Player to Watch – Chris Willock

Chris Willock has scored six times in 14 Championship starts for QPR this term, a haul that makes the 24-year-old the club’s joint-leading scorer alongside Scottish international, Lyndon Dykes. Willock is into his second season with Rangers following his switch from Benfica and the promising attacking midfielder will be aiming to bolster his tally even further when he plays against Cardiff on Boxing Day.
