Two English Championship sides separated by four places and four points meet on Monday night as Queens Park Rangers welcome Luton Town to Loftus Road.
Queens Park Rangers have been hard to beat in recent weeks. The Hoops lost just one of their last ten games, winning five and drawing four. Martí Cifuentes' men were last in action on New Year's Day when they hosted Watford in round 25 of the Championship season. They took all three points after winning 3-1 to extend their home winning streak to four games.
Luton Town started the 2024-25 campaign as one of the favourites to be promoted from the Championship this season. The visitors got off to a poor start, failing to win their first four games and that form has continued throughout the campaign. They take a threae-game losing streak into Monday's game and only Plymouth have a worse away record than the Hatters in the Championship this season.
QPR vs Luton Betting Tips: QPR to win & Over 2.5 goals
QPR may be in the bottom ten of the standings at the time of writing but they have a very solid home record. The Hoops have lost only four of their 13 Championship games at Loftus Road this season and four of their six wins so far came at the ground. Their recent record against Luton Town is also good, having won each of the last two meetings between the two sides by scoring 2+ goals.
Luton Town are struggling defensively and they bring a run of nine consecutive games without a clean sheet into Monday’s game. Three of the five away games played in that spell produced 3+ goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
