🔥 Our Hot tip

Under 2.5 goals

The last five H2Hs have averaged just 2.2 goals per game

In this article, we have given our Norwich vs QPR prediction, odds & betting tips ahead of their Championship clash at Carrow Road at Sunday lunchtime. At the time of writing, the hosts are in 12th place on 29 points from 23 games played, while the visitors are in 17th spot on 25 points from the same number of matches.

Norwich vs QPR prediction: A tough one to call?

Key stats

  • Norwich have won just once in their last five games.
  • QPR's four-game unbeaten streak was ended with a 3-0 loss at Swansea on Boxing Day.
  • Norwich have edged the previous five H2Hs in terms of wins.

Correct score prediction: Norwich 1-1 QPR

Both teams' respective positions in the league table suggests that this could end up being a closely-fought contest. QPR are in better form overall, but a 2-1 win for Norwich at home to Millwall on Boxing Day should boost their confidence somewhat.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Norwich heavy favourites

HOME: 4/5  (1.80) – 55.6%
DRAW: 11/4 (3.75) – 26.7%
AWAY: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

As shown by the implied probabilities, Norwich are heavily fancied by bookmakers to take all three points at home. A draw is thought to be the next likely result, followed by a QPR win away from home.

Player to watch – Borja Sainz

Borja Sainz has simply been a revelation this season, boasting a total of 15 goals in the Championship which unsurprisingly makes him the division's top scorer. Nonetheless, he could well make the difference should Norwich record successive victories at Carrow Road.
