Editorial Prediction
QPR kick off their new season on home turf and are slight favorites, but it won't be a walk in the park. Preston have traditionally posed challenges and showed an open, high-scoring style towards the end of last season-netting and conceding in seven consecutive matches. If this trend continues, we could be in for an exciting game. Given these factors, betting on both teams to score (yes) seems like a reasonable choice.No comments
