Huddersfield vs QPR Prediction

Huddersfield are considered to be the favorites this match-day, and the reasons are manifold. First of all they are a team that just got relegated from the Premier League, and as a result are well-versed in taking on some of the best teams in the world.

On top of that, they have the home advantage as well this Saturday. Keep note that the team has performed fairly well at this venue this season. In fact, they were unbeaten in nine of the last eleven home games, and of the two losses during the stretch, one was against Leeds, one of the best teams in the competition.

Moreover, QPR are on a three-match losing run as of now, and were winless in 15 of their preceding 20 overall games. On the road, they are on a four-match losing streak, and had a single win from their last eight matches.

In addition, Huddersfield had won two of the last three h2h games, and are unbeaten against this opponent in the past five years. Finally, at this venue, the Rangers have lost just twice since 1998, and only twice have they kept clean sheets in the last 22 years.

Considering these observations, the top pick for the day is easily Huddersfield to register a victory.
