Leicester vs QPR Betting Tips - QPR or Draw

An in-form QPR will fancy their chances of creating an FA Cup upset this weekend when they take on an out-of-sorts Leicester on Saturday afternoon.

The Foxes return to action with confidence at a low-ebb following a fifth successive defeat suffered in their most recent EPL outing at Aston Villa. Despite a spirited performance, Ruud Van Nistelrooy´s side slipped to a 2:1 defeat at Villa Park.

A dreadful run of form has seen Leicester lose ten and win only one of their last 13 matches across all competitions since a 3:2 win against Southampton in October. The hosts now find themselves 19th in the Premier League, with only 14 points collected from 20 games played.

At the King Power, the Foxes have struggled defensively, with 13 goals leaked in their six most recent home fixtures. Five of those games saw a minimum of three goals scored.

QPR make the trip north in high spirits after a hard-fought 2:1 win against Luton earlier this week. Four of their last five matches have now seen over 2.5 goals netted.

Now unbeaten in ten of their last 11 matches, with five victories picked up in their eight most recent league fixtures, the R´s are up to 13th in the Championship. 

While away wins have been rare, QPR have managed to avoid defeat in four of their last five road trips, and they could well take advantage of a Leicester side that must surely focus on Premier League survival. 

With that in mind, I'm taking a chance on QPR to avoid defeat in a game that could well see a minimum of three goals scored.
