QPR should beat Preston – and Fulham’s odds are cut after good start

QPR boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was critical of referee Darren Bond after the 3-2 loss to Barnsley in midweek, but his side can get back to winning ways against struggling Preston at Loftus Road on Saturday.

The Lilywhites are without a point from their first three games and the R’s are much-fancied for this one.

Rangers are 21/20 to win, with the draw 9/4 and the visitors outsiders at 14/1.

QPR are 33/1 for the title after their reverse in south Yorkshire and they really should have too much for the Lancashire outfit, who have only scored once in their three games to date.

Fulham were denied the win their performance deserved when Leeds scored a stoppage-time equaliser at Elland Road.

But that should not detract from another excellent performance from Slavisa Jokanovic’s side, who have been cut from 40s to 25/1 for the Championship title at BetVictor, and from 12/1 to 9/1 for promotion.

The Whites entertain Cardiff and are 11/10 to get back to winning ways. A Bluebirds win is 5/2, as is the draw.

Two own goals from the hapless Shane Duffy gave the South Wales side their first win of the season, against Blackburn Rovers, but this is a game I expect Fulham to win.

Only the woodwork prevented Matt Smith from making it three goals in three games in the Championship, and the striker is 7/1 to score the opener and 23/10 to find the back of the Cardiff net.

That looks too big given Smith’s current form and must be the recommendation.

Brentford, having enjoyed back-to-back home wins, are away to a Rotherham side that has picked up just a solitary point from their three Championship matches so far this term.

The Bees are 31/20 to win, with Rotherham 7/4 and the draw at 12/5.

I reckon that one will be a 1-1 draw, which is priced at 6/1.
