Cardiff City vs Queens Park Rangers Prediction: QPR can lose two in two with Cardiff looking for their first win.

Cardiff City will welcome Queens Park Rangers at Cardiff City Stadium in Gameweek 2 of the English Championship. QPR can lose two in two with Cardiff looking for their first win. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Cardiff made the journey to Leeds, who had recently been relegated, on Sunday. Despite having a strong lead of two goals due to impressive counter-attacking play by Josh Bowler and Ike Ugbo, they were unable to secure a win as Leeds fought back with second-half goals from Liam Cooper and Crysencio Summerville. On Wednesday night, they faced Colchester United in the EFL Cup, with Rubin Colwill and Kion Etete scoring, but the game ultimately went to penalty kicks, which Cardiff won to advance to the next round. While Aaron Ramsey has been the standout signing for Cardiff this summer, it is important to recognize the contributions of Karlan Grant and Yakou Meite. The team struggled to score goals at home last season, managing only 20 goals in 23 matches, with Wigan Athletic being the only team to score fewer at home in the Championship.

QPR had a full week to reflect on their troubling start to the Championship season after their defeat against Watford. Gareth Ainsworth may have hoped that their heavy loss to Oxford United was just a one-time occurrence, but that hope was shattered when Tom Dele-Bashiru scored in just 40 seconds at Vicarage Road. Imran Louza, Matheus Martins, and Vakoun Issouf Bayo all added to Watford's lead before halftime, making it an insurmountable challenge for QPR. The second half was essentially a formality, with the result already decided. QPR struggled to secure their place in the Championship last season after Neil Critchley was sacked midway through. This season, they have only managed to win once at Loftus Road. Their upcoming match against Norwich City in the EFL Cup is a crucial opportunity for QPR to bounce back. However, given their recent performances and Norwich's strong position, not many QPR supporters are optimistic about their chances in the game against Cardiff on Saturday.

Begovic; Kakay, Fox, Cook, Paal; Dozzell, Field, Chair, Willock, Armstrong; Dykes

Cardiff will enter the upcoming match against QPR with a lot of confidence following their impressive performance against Leeds in their previous game. The home supporters are anticipating a victory as QPR has been struggling lately. However, we do not believe that QPR will be able to secure any points during their visit to Cardiff this weekend. The team is in need of a strong showing to alleviate concerns of an unsuccessful season. Expect under 2.5 goals in the game.
