Bristol City v QPR Betting Tips and Preview – Championship

Date: 04 October, 15:00
Competition: EFL Championship
Venue: Ashton Gate


Bristol City v QPR Match Preview

Bristol City’s push to stay inside the Championship play-off pack has stuttered in recent weeks. The Robins come into this clash off the back of a 3-1 home defeat to Oxford United and successive draws with Preston NE and Ipswich Town. That run means Gerhard Struber’s side have now managed just two wins from their last eight matches in all competitions, leaving them in need of a response at Ashton Gate.

While three points may feel uncertain, the goals market continues to appeal. Three of Bristol City’s four home fixtures so far in the Championship have seen both teams score, underlining the hosts’ attacking intent but also their defensive frailties.

QPR, meanwhile, are trending in the opposite direction. After failing to win any of their first three games of the season, Julien Stéphan’s men have strung together a five-match unbeaten run, collecting victories against Charlton Athletic, Wrexham and Stoke City alongside draws with Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford United.

The Londoners have also been consistently involved in goal-heavy games away from home – all four of their Championship road fixtures so far this season have seen BTTS land.

With both sides carrying attacking threat but also defensive vulnerability, goals at both ends look highly likely at Ashton Gate.

Team News and Predicted Line-Ups

Bristol City

Captain Jason Knight is a doubt after limping off against Preston, while Rob Atkinson – who scored against Ipswich – also came off injured late on and faces a race to be fit. Luke McNally (ACL) remains a long-term absentee. Ross McCrorie should continue on the right side of defence.

Predicted XI (3-4-2-1):
Vitek; Tanner, Dickie, Roberts; McCrorie, Vyner, Randell, Borges; Twine, Mehmeti; Riis

QPR

Jake Clarke-Salter could make his long-awaited return from injury, though if not fit enough, Steve Cook and Amadou Salif Mbengue should keep their places in central defence. Isaac Hayden will pair Sam Field in midfield, with Dembele and Vale providing support for Richard Kone in attack.

Predicted XI (4-2-3-1):
Nardi; Dunne, Cook, Mbengue, Norrington-Davies; Field, Hayden; Vale, Madsen, Dembele; Kone

Bristol City v QPR Prediction

With both teams’ fixtures consistently producing goals, and neither side watertight defensively, the Both Teams To Score (BTTS) market stands out as the strongest betting angle.

Conclusion

Bristol City are struggling for consistency, while QPR arrive with momentum and a five-match unbeaten run. However, both clubs are far stronger going forward than they are at the back. Goals at both ends feels like the banker bet at Ashton Gate.
