Queens Park Rangers vs Leicester City Prediction: Leicester are five points clear at top

Queens Park Rangers will welcome Leicester City at Loftus Road in Game Week 14 of the English Championship. Leicester will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

When teams in the Championship go on winning streaks, it is commonly believed that they will eventually lose and be brought back into the group. However, this does not seem to be the case for Leicester. With a 14-point lead over third place, it is expected that they will secure promotion in record time. Enzo Maresca's team demonstrated their dominance with a 1-0 victory over Sunderland, marking their 12th win in 13 matches. James Justin's early goal made all the difference, and Leicester has now maintained four consecutive clean sheets at home. Additionally, their away record shows that they have scored at least two goals in each of their last five matches, highlighting the challenge that a struggling QPR team will face.

Gareth Ainsworth's tenure at Loftus Road has faced challenging moments where he has been fortunate to still hold his position. Currently, the perception is especially strong as QPR has suffered five consecutive defeats and has only managed to win one out of their last 11 games. Furthermore, they are faced with a six-point gap from 21st place and have not won a match at their London home since March. Ainsworth's job security is in jeopardy as supporters are demanding change, and he may only have one remaining opportunity to prove his worth, despite the caliber of opponents they will face this weekend.

Although Ainsworth has occasionally managed to secure an unexpected victory with his QPR team in the second division, we don't expect the same outcome here. Even if Leicester make changes to their lineup, they are still expected to comfortably secure three points. Over 2.5 goals is expected in this game with Leicester doing the most.
