Head-to-head statistics West Ham - QPR
West Ham show strong attacking form
West Ham's last Championship match ended in a 2-2 away draw at Millwall, having trailed 0-2 at half-time. Despite enjoying 66% possession, the visitors managed fewer shots - 15 against 19.
West Ham have been impressive in front of goal, averaging 2.8 goals scored and just 1.5 conceded per match over their last ten games. A current run of three consecutive wins points to consistency and attacking confidence, particularly at home: six of their last seven home matches have gone over 2.5 goals, and their team total has frequently gone over 1.5 at home as well. Their league objective is to close the gap on the leaders, but with the season still in its early stages the team are maintaining a focused approach without taking unnecessary risks.

Queens Park Rangers: a disciplined style of play
Queens Park Rangers came from 2-0 down at home to draw their last Championship meeting with Preston North End 2-2. Despite having 30 shots to Preston's 13 and an xG of 3.41 against 1.34, their superiority in chances did not translate into a win.
Queens Park Rangers have shown a cautious pattern: over their last ten matches they have averaged just 1.1 goals scored and 1.1 conceded per game, with three wins and four draws in that period. In their last five league outings, the visitors have managed only one win and one defeat - the remaining matches ended level or with a minimal margin, which points to a pragmatic approach to each game. Their aim is to close in on the automatic promotion places; they are currently just two points off that target and retain a moderate incentive to pick up points.
Match Results: Queens Park Rangers
Prediction
Queens Park Rangers have covered the +1.5 handicap in eight consecutive Championship matches. The team have also lost by more than one goal in just one of their last fifteen matches, and they have only one defeat to their name this season. Given that consistent trend, the bet on Queens Park Rangers - Handicap +1.5 at 1.54* looks reliable.
Total Goals Prediction
In their last six matches, Queens Park Rangers have seen Total Goals - Under 3.5 land. The team is generally low-scoring: their average goals scored per match this season is 1.25, while their average conceded is just 0.88. West Ham score freely on average, but QPR consistently keep goal tallies low both in their home and away matches. It therefore makes sense to consider Total Goals - Under 3.5 at odds of 1.56*.
Reliable Bet
West Ham are unbeaten in six consecutive matches, and at home they have won three of their four matches this season without drawing any of them. Across the season as a whole, they have suffered just one defeat. That kind of consistent record makes the Double Chance - 1X at 1.15* a confident selection.
Correct Score Prediction
Based on statistics and probability distribution, the algorithm identifies three most likely scorelines: 2-1 (10.48%), 1-1 (9.09%) and 2-0 (8.14%). Of these, 2-1 carries the highest probability. The values are fairly close to one another, which reflects the competitive contest expected in this match.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
West Ham have recent form and a strong home scoring record on their side - backed by solid trends for total goals at their ground, where the hosts regularly produce high-scoring matches even against mid-table sides. However, two consistent trends point towards Total Goals - Under 3.5: Queens Park Rangers have been involved in low-scoring games regularly (six in a row), and their disciplined defence tends to slow down the opposition's attacking play regardless of the quality they face. The main prediction is Total Goals - Under 3.5. Predicted score: 2-1.
