Bitesize Prediction: QPR vs Norwich – 07/12/24

Competition: Championship

Market: Norwich draw no bet

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

Looking to make it three Championship victories on the bounce, Norwich will travel to south London on Saturday afternoon when they meet QPR.

Starting with the hosts, while QPR might have claimed an essential 2-0 win away at Cardiff last month, the Hoops have drastically struggled to find any kind of stability. Forced to settle for a 0-0 stalemate against Watford last weekend, Marti Cifuentes’ men are sat in the relegation zone and appear to have a real uphill battle on their hands this season. Heading into November’s international break with a 2-0 loss at the hands of title contenders Leeds, the former Hammarby boss has seen his squad muster just a single victory from any of their previous 13 appearances across all competitions. With that extended rut stemming all the way back to the end of August, QPR have also continued to show some glaring issues on home soil. Including a 4-1 drumming against Middlesbrough on November 5th, Saturday’s hosts have failed to record a sole Championship win at Loftus Road so far this season.

As for the visitors, although Norwich might have entered November’s international break in the midst of a public wobble, the Canaries do appear to have turned a recent corner. Desperate to make up some ground in the play-off chase, Johannes Hoff Thorup’s men have collected seven points from their previous three Championship appearances. Last seen putting in an action-packed performance at Carrow Road as they collected a 4-2 win against Luton, the Norfolk-based outfit have also found a real clinical edge in the final third. Laying down a major marker last month as they stormed their way to a 6-1 romp against Plymouth, Saturday’s guests have recorded 12 goals on their three-match unbeaten run. Smelling a potential opportunity here, Norwich should also be excited by an eye-catching record against Saturday’s hosts. In fact, Thorup’s side are unbeaten in each of their last nine straight meetings against QPR across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to April 2018.
