Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of several goals.

As such, a lively encounter is anticipated, with goal-scoring opportunities likely to arise at both ends.

Analysis QPR

This is the first match in this edition of the competition for the home team, that ended the previous edition of the lower division in the 15th position and got the promotion. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got an away win against Toulouse by (1‑2). In the last 10 home matches QPR has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 23 of the last 25 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Queens Park Rangers come into this match following a 1–0 defeat in a friendly against Brentford. The home side usually line up in a 4-3-3 formation, favouring a more measured style of play, with slower build-up as they progress up the pitch. In this setup, the front three are expected to be Michael Frey, Paul Smyth and Kwame Poku. In midfield, Ilias Chair acts as the team’s playmaker, responsible for organising the game and dictating the tempo. All players are available for selection in this match.
 

Confirmed Lineup: Joe Walsh, Amadou Salif Mbengue, João Henrique Mendes da Silva, Kieran Morgan, Liam Morrison, Samuel Field, Nicolas Madsen, Ilias Chair, Karamoko Dembélé, Žan Celar, Kwame Poku.
Coach: G. Ainsworth.

Analysis Preston

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 20th last season. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 4 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 18 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got a home tie against Liverpool by (1‑3). In the last 10 away matches Preston has won 2, tied 2 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Preston North End head into this fixture lacking momentum after a 2–0 defeat in a friendly against Bolton. The visitors are expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, with counter-attacks serving as their main offensive weapon. Up front, Will Keane and Milutin Osmajic will be the key attacking outlets. In midfield, Ben Whiteman is the team’s playmaker, tasked with orchestrating play and controlling the tempo of the match. All players are available for selection in this fixture.
 

Confirmed Lineup: Daniel Iversen, Lewis Gibson, Andrija Vukčević, T. Small, Jordan Storey, Andrew Hughes, Stefán Þórðarson, Benjamin Whiteman, Alistair McCann, Milutin Osmajic, Michael Smith.
