⭐ Editorial Prediction
In our view, this match could go either way. We wouldn't be surprised if QPR clinch their fourth consecutive victory. With this in mind, we're betting on Preston to score under 1.5 goals. Not only have the "Lilywhites" shown poor scoring form at home, but they have also failed to net more than one goal in their last five encounters with the "Rangers".
