QPR got a 3-1 win over Watford in their last game. Michael Frey and Jimmy Dunne scored first in the 5th and 37th minutes, respectively, to put QPR ahead. Kwadwo Baah scored in the 55th minute for Watford before Sam Field made it 3-1 in the 56th minute. With this, QPR remain unbeaten in five straight home games, including four wins. They sit 16th on the table with 29 points in 25 games, scoring 27 goals and conceding 33. They are 9 points away from the relegation-place Plymouth. However, Ilias Chair, Morgan Fox, and Lucas Andersen are all ruled out of this game due to injuries.
Luton Town
LWLLL
Luton suffered a 1-0 loss against Norwich in their last game. Marcelino Nunez scored the only goal of the match in the 73rd minute. With this result, Luton have suffered three straight losses, and I don’t think this streak will end soon. The Hatters are one of the worst-performing teams on the road this season, having picked up just four away points in 12 games. They sit 20th on the table with 25 points in 25 games, scoring 26 goals and conceding 42. Meanwhile, due to injuries, Daiki Hashioka, Jacob Brown, Tom Lockyer, and Tom Krauss are all confirmed out, and Marvelous Nakamba is a doubt for the game.
Possible Starting 11
Queens Park Rangers — Paul Nardi, Harrison Ashby, Jimmy Dunne, Morgan Fox, Kenneth Paal, Jonathan Varane, Sam Field, Paul Smyth, Kieran Morgan, Rayan Kolli, Michael Frey.
