Norwich vs QPR Prediction & Betting tips
The lunch match in the Championship this weekend is the match between Norwich City and Queens Park Rangers. With seven games remaining, Norwich City is the proud leader in the league while Queens Park Rangers need a few more points to play safely. What kind of duel can we expect?
Norwich City:
Norwich City recorded a very important victory last weekend at a visit to Middlesbrough. It won 0-1 through a goal just after halftime by Onel Hernandez. The victory meant much more than three points alone. As direct competitor Sheffield United lost 2-3 in-house against Bristol City, Norwich City saw the lead on number two be increased to five points. The lead on the disadvantageous third place is now seven points and so weird things must happen if the Canaries don’t want to promote directly to the Premier League.
Captain Christoph Zimmermann: ‘We don’t feel any extra pressure for the game against Queens Park Rangers. We must enjoy the fact that we have now found ourselves in this beautiful situation. We are very excited for the games to come this season. I personally feel no extra pressure now that it must happen for us as a team and club. I hope the other players are in the same position. If we continue to perform as we did in previous competitions (all five competitions were won in March) then the reward will ultimately follow. ‘
Queens Park Rangers:
Steve McClaren was fired last Monday as manager of Queens Park Rangers. This did not happen entirely unexpectedly since the Englishman was busy in the last few weeks on a dramatic series, which automatically led to a free fall in the rankings. The policymakers became so confused about this that it seemed wise to dismiss the wally with the brolly. The opinions after his dismissal were divided. The general feeling that prevailed was that the directors at QPR mainly played panic football with this dismissal. The lead on the unsafe twenty-second place is currently eight points, so the feeling that the League One was approaching seemed unfounded.
John Eustace was appointed as caretaker manager. On Thursday afternoon he immediately looked ahead to the Norwich City game: ‘Last Monday was a sad day. It’s never nice to see a manager lose his job. McClaren brought me to this club and I have a lot of respect for the work he has done here. We have to continue as a club and the players have had great training this week. I’m only concerned with Norwich City now. It is a big competition in which we must be right there.
