Queens Park Rangers vs Bournemouth Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 6th January 2024

Both Queens Park Rangers and Bournemouth aim to show their respective set of fans they are the better side on Saturday, and we are bound to see an exciting game.

Queens Park Rangers go into their next FA Cup match, scoring a humble average of 1.3 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 13 times, while conceding 13. That amounts to an average of 1.3 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring one times.

When it comes to goal-scoring Bournemouth are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 19 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.9 goals per game. They conceded 16 goals for an average of 1.6 a game, achieving a clean sheet in two of these matches.

This is the first time Queens Park Rangers squares up against Bournemouth in the FA Cup in the 21st century, thus both face a whole new experience of coming up against an unknown opponent.

Queens Park Rangers vs Bournemouth Prediction

Queens Park Rangers Form

In their last three matches, Queens Park Rangers lost 2-0 against Millwall, drew 0-0 with Ipswich, before losing to Cardiff by 1-2. Queens Park Rangers won three of their previous six matches at Loftus Road in the FA Cup. They drew zero and suffered three defeats, scoring 17 goals to 14 against.

Bournemouth Form

Despite losing their latest outing, results have generally been decent in the last three matches for Bournemouth. They first took out Nottingham Forest by 2-3 before downing Fulham by 3-0. The winning streak came to an end against Tottenham, who ran out 3-1 winners. In their last six FA Cup away matches, Bournemouth won a very acceptable four times. They've also drawn none and lost twice, scoring nine while also conceding nine times.

We seriously doubt Queens Park Rangers, in current form, possess the abilities to shut down Bournemouth, making us aim for the away win as the best bet on Saturday.
