Match Results: Preston North End
Match Result Prediction
Preston North End have lost 7 of their last 8 Championship matches and are yet to win away from home this season, with three defeats from three. QPR, meanwhile, have lost just 1 of their 7 matches this season and have generally been the more consistent side. QPR's home record is not perfect, but their opponents are clearly struggling, particularly defensively - Preston are conceding an average of 1.67 goals per away match. Taken together, these factors point towards a QPR win, priced at 1.75*.
Total Goals Prediction
In the last 9 consecutive head-to-head meetings between these two sides, the total has never gone over 3.5 goals. On top of that, both teams have fairly modest scoring averages this season: Queens Park Rangers average 1.14 goals per game, while Preston North End average 0.86. Preston North End have also scored under 1.5 goals in 6 consecutive head-to-head matches. All of this points to a low-scoring outcome, making Total Goals - Under 3.5 an appealing bet at 1.39*.
Corners Prediction
Queens Park Rangers have taken fewer than 6.5 corners in nine consecutive head-to-head Championship matches between these two sides. That is a consistent run over a significant sample specifically in this fixture. There are no obvious contradictions in the current data, which makes a bet on Queens Park Rangers Team Total Corners - Under 6.5 at 1.62* worth considering.
Reliable Bet
Queens Park Rangers have scored in 9 of their last 10 head-to-head meetings with Preston North End. Preston North End are also conceding an average of 1.86 goals per match this season, and 1.67 away from home.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Weighing up the teams' form against the key statistical trends, one thing stands out: despite the visitors' poor results, their away matches have been high-scoring affairs with both sides finding the net in almost every recent instance. QPR themselves are consistent going forward, but far from reliable defensively - even against the lower sides in the division - particularly given their lack of a home winning run this season. The league situation of both teams makes an open match more likely: Preston need to play with more attacking intent to survive, while QPR are looking to push into the top end of the table through attack. The main prediction is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 2-1.
