QPR Slump to Continue With a Defeat to a Forest Side on the Move

QPR vs Nottingham Forest - 29/10/2021

QPR Slump to Continue With a Defeat to a Forest Side on the Move
3577

In what is one of the closest seasons in recent Championship history, Queens Park Rangers will welcome Nottingham Forest to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium with just four points separating the two sides split by eight places.

The second tier in English football is always enthralling and it grips viewers right until the end. However, with teams as far as 16th just four points off the play-offs, it’s really anyone’s game this season and it may just take one team to hit some form to jump up the table in no time.

Moreover, with QPR on 21 points from 14 games, they, Blackpool, Stoke City, Millwall, Middlesbrough, and Huddersfield Town are all on the same points and merely separated by goal difference in this tense league in 2021/22.

QPR are also one of the highest-scoring sides in the division so far after netting 25 times, which means only Fulham have bagged more with their 33 efforts going in.

West Bromwich Albion share the 25 goals with QPR too, but what is slightly alarming is how they’ve let in 22 goals as well which is more than all three teams currently in the relegation zone.

Much of QPR's goalscoring success has come with the fact many players are contributing on the goal front right now and will likely keep scoring.

Ilias Chair, Lyndon Dykes, Charlie Austin, Chris Willock and Andrew Gray have all managed to net a bunch of goals so far and this is a worry for a Forest side that have scored only 18 and let in 20.

As for Forest, it’s been a tough season for them, despite sitting only four points off a play-off place. The club have already sacked Chris Hughton to bring in Steve Cooper, which as of now, is working wonders with them moving swiftly away from the relegation zone and closer to the top half of the table.

On the other hand, Cooper's men were annihilated by the free-scoring Fulham last time out as they lost 4-0 on home soil last Sunday. QPR also shipped four goals to Fulham two weeks ago, and it proves that goals could well happen here

Mark Warburton’s men have slipped up a bit lately following a defeat in the EFL Cup and a 2-1 defeat to the struggling Peterborough.

With this in mind, Forebet predicts an away win for Forest as Cooper looks to move them closer to the play-off places. Forebet also expects to see a game of over 2.5 goals.
