Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Championship match.
Plymouth Argyle have experienced a busy week. They first defeated a Premier League club in the FA Cup, then welcomed a new head coach, and finally played an "extra" match on Tuesday. What's new with Queens Park Rangers?
Plymouth Argyle
The "extra" fixture, far from being unnecessary, was a match postponed from November. Plymouth Argyle desperately needed points, and they had a fair chance against Oxford United. The result was a 1:1 draw—they had to come from behind. This was the first game under Austrian manager Miron Muslic. Meanwhile, the victory over Brentford (1:0) created yet another postponement in the Championship. It's one challenge after another.
Queens Park Rangers
Things have been simpler for Queens Park Rangers. Their manager is still in place (a fact the board is likely pleased with), and they suffered a heavy defeat to Leicester City in the Cup (2:6) and prepared calmly for the clash with a struggling side. In the league, things are looking good: two consecutive wins, and three unbeaten matches have brought the play-off zone as close as the relegation zone. Calm days for a mid-table team.
Plymouth Argyle vs Queens Park Rangers Prediction
Since Plymouth Argyle returned to the Championship, they have faced QPR three times without a winner emerging. Plymouth Argyle have only lost twice in 12 home matches, but they haven't won in five straight games. Therefore, considering Plymouth's midweek game and QPR's better form, we believe the visitors will not lose, and there will be at least two goals, as this has become a tradition in the last five meetings at Home Park.
