There's a massive game on Saturday in the Championship as Queens Park Rangers host leaders Coventry City. The Hoops have had an inconsistent campaign but sit in mid-table. Fank Lampard's Sky Blues started the season superbly, but have hit rockier form of late and now find themselves under pressure at the top of the table. What is the best prediction to back for this key match?
Julien Stephan's QPR side have struggled for consistency this season. They lie in 12th position in the table with 40 points from their 29 games, with playoff hopes still very much alive. Coventry City are top of the table despite their inconsistent recent form and the Sky Blues have amassed 58 points from their 29 games. They are now just three clear of the chasing Middlesbrough.
It's hard to pull a great deal from either team's recent form in terms of a result. QPR's last three results have seen them go down to a 3-2 defeat at home to Wrexham most recently and prior to that, the Hoops had seen back-to-back 0-0 draws, firstly away to Stoke City and then also on the road at Oxford United.
Coventry's recent form is perhaps a little more impressive. That's because it includes two key 2-1 home victories, firstly against Leicester City and then a crucial victory over Millwall. However, last Monday, the Sky Blues went down to a 2-1 defeat at the improving Norwich City.

Our QPR vs Coventry City Prediction
Our prediction for the QPR vs. Coventry City Championship match is: Over 2.5 Goals.
This is one of those rare games where all the data seems to point to one betting market. Neither side has been consistent enough of late to back them confidently for a win here and a draw is also not that well-supported in the data. However, both teams games have had plenty of goals this season and given the last game saw eight goals between them, backing the over 2.5 goals option makes perfect sense.
