QPR vs Leeds Prediction & Betting tips
Queens Park Rangers and Leeds United meet in the FA Cup on Loftus Road. Leeds United is badly closed 2018 and badly started 2019. It lost to Hull City and Nottingham Forest, respectively. Queens Park Rangers is currently in good shape and wants success in the FA Cup. A look ahead!
Queens Park Rangers:
Queens Park Rangers is currently very stable under manager Steve McClaren. From the last four league games that were finished during the busy period around the holidays, no less than eight points were achieved. The good series goes further back because with eleven points from five games, the old manager of FC Twente has been unbeaten for a few weeks. Strong teams such as Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough were won and on New Year’s Day surprisingly a point was taken at the more esteemed Aston Villa. In Birmingham it became 2-2. Because of the recent good results Queens Park Rangers is currently ninth in the Championship and the gap at number six Derby County is only four points. It could just be a great season for Queens Park Rangers. The FA Cup should be seen mainly as a nice break from the games that are played in the Championship. With Leeds United, it strikes an opponent that gave Queens Park Rangers the final loss on 8 December. On Elland Road it became 2-1.
Steve McClaren was a happy man at the end of the duel with Aston Villa: “I left the team for the fourth time in a row today. I did not want to change too much during this period because the team performed very well. They have done a great job over the past few weeks. It was not always easy, but when I see how they have fought, I have a lot of respect for that. Also the invaders stood there today and contributed to a good result against Aston Villa. The willingness to do something for each other is so great in this group. They go through the fire for each other and you can see that in the results. I am very satisfied with eleven points from five matches. ‘
Leeds United:
Leeds United is still the proud leader in the Championship. The last few weeks there has been some sand in the engine so it has lost twice in a row. First on the Saturday between Christmas and old – and surprisingly in-house lost 0-2 from Hull City. In this game, Jarrod Bowen scored twice and this is still the transfer goal of manager Marcelo Bielsa. Especially after Leeds rented Samuel Saiz to Getafe, the rinse on the midfield and in the front became rather thin. And then there was New Year’s Day. At City Ground, 4-2 was lost at Nottingham Forest. The home team started strong and took the lead through Jack Colback. When Kalvin Phillips got red on behalf of Leeds, the match seemed decided, but Jack Clarke and Ezgjan Alioski gave Leeds United renewed energy. It turned out to be inadequate because in the last twenty minutes Nottingham Forest still went up to 4-2 so it kept the points in-house.
Afterwards, Kalvin Phillips apologized publicly via twitter: “I want to apologize to my teammates. Also the fans who have traveled to Nottingham today I want to apologize. I have not timed my tackle today. I take full responsibility for this. And I will accept the punishment for my red card. ” A striking response from Phillips. Through twitter, his teammates reacted mildly to the midfielder / defender. They have forgiven the action for a long time. The only problem is of course that Phillips is not a defender at all but midfielder and is not used to acting as a defender.
