THE PREDICTION
QPR manager Mark Warburton is starting to come under serious pressure, with his side having not won in five Championship matches. Their latest match saw them fall 0-1 to Reading and if they aren’t careful, a similar result could occur here. Stoke secured a fourth clean sheet in five league games at the weekend, although they could not find a winning goal away to lowly Derby. QPR however, have conceded in each of their last eight Championship fixtures and Michael O’Neill’s side could be set to pick up a crucial away win here, taking advantage of the hosts’ vulnerability at the back to find the net themselves, before using their own defensive qualities to shut QPR out at the other end of the pitch.
