Our QPR vs Stoke Prediction
Both teams put forward positive responses to some early setbacks. QPR have reeled off back-to-back wins after a heavy defeat to Coventry while Stoke snapped their first losing streak of the campaign by grinding out a home win.
We believe both sides are therefore playing well enough to each get on the scoresheet. QPR, especially, are looking like they are going to be involved in a lot of high-scoring contests this season while Stoke’s away trips have both seen high xG numbers. 1-1 looks a likely final score. Our QPR vs Stoke City prediction: both teams to score.
