Preston vs QPR prediction

Under the management of former Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom, Preston North End have been steady throughout this season but they are likely only go to survive just because of how poor the bottom end of the table has been. They most recently suffered a 2-1 loss to Leeds United at Elland Road last weekend.

They now face a Queens Park Rangers side that managed to stay just above Preston in the middle of the Championship table with a 1-1 draw at home to Bristol City last weekend. Karamoko Dembele opened the scoring after 21 minutes for QPR in that game at Loftus Road before George Earthy equalised around ten minutes later.

As is ever the case in modern times, these are two evenly matched sides and, as a result, it would be a good value bet to go for the draw in this one at Deepdale.
