Blackburn Rovers v QPR.
Saturday, November 3 (3pm), Ewood Park.
KEY BATTLE
LUKE Freeman was a target for Rovers in the summer, and he will hold QPR’s biggest threat. If Ryan Nyambe comes back in to the team can stop Freeman from getting into his stride it will go a long way to helping nullify in form QPR.
PREVIOUS MEETING
ROVERS haven’t lost against QPR since 1999, and last time out a Rovers side that went on to be relegated ran out 1-0 winners in a Championship clash at Ewood Park.
MAN IN THE MIDDLE
Peter Bankes – 61 yellow cards and two red cards in his 14 matches so far. His last Rovers match was the 1-0 win at Bradford in August 2017.
PREDICTED TEAMS
ROVERS: Jayson Leutwiler, Ryan Nyambe, Charlie Mulgrew, Derrick Williams, Amari’i Bell, Harrison Reed, Richie Smallwood, Elliot Bennett, Bradley Dack, Adam Armstrong, Danny Graham
QPR: Joe Lumley, Angel Rangel, Joel Lynch, Toni Leistner, Jake Bidwell, Pawel Wszolek, Massimo Luongo, Josh Scowen, Luke Freeman, Eberechi Eze, Tomer Hemed
ODDS
ROVERS are 11/8 to win a second home game in a row, while QPR are 2/1 to maintain their good form. A draw is priced at 23/10. A Rovers win with both teams finding the back of the net is priced at 9/2.
