Luton vs Queens Park Rangers Prediction

Luton Form

Luton have been too mediocre in their last three matches, where a win has failed to come their way. Against Portsmouth, they recorded a 0-0 draw, before coming up short against Preston, who ran out 1-0 winners. Lately, they recorded another draw in a 1-1 match with Queens Park Rangers. Luton won four of their last six Championship matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded six and scored ten goals.

The big goal of the season for Luton is naturally winning the title, and a place inside the top two at least should be possible in the upcoming Championship season.

Queens Park Rangers Form

In their previous three matches, Queens Park Rangers drew 2-2 with Sheffield United, 1-1 with Plymouth and 1-1 with Luton. Queens Park Rangers claimed two wins against three draws and one defeat in their last six away matches in the Championship. The scoreline from these matches reads seven goals conceded and six scored.

The big goal of the season for Luton is naturally winning the title, and a place inside the top two at least should be possible in the upcoming Championship season.

Both Luton and Queens Park Rangers seem a little too focused on not losing than actually chasing a win, and as such, the draw is a tasty value bet from our perspective.
