QPR take on the visitors Burnley in the round 22 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Sunday, December 11th at Loftus Road (London).
Queens Park Rangers are far from being the strongest of the metropolitan teams. In London, not only giants like Chelsea and Arsenal with Tottenham are quoted higher, but also the same Crystal Palace. But still, they had a chance to play in the Premier League, and not without some success. But it seems that after the scandalous accusations of financial fair play violations, things did not work out. For example, the last draw brought only a modest 11th place in the Championship. This turned out to record a pretty good start. But now there are no special reasons for joy and optimism. Firstly, after 8 wins in 11 matches, at the end of October and November, there was only a goalless draw against Norwich with defeats to both Birmingham and West Brom, Huddersfield, Coventry. Secondly, Michael Beal, the mentor who propelled QPR to the top of the Championship table in mid-autumn, has gone to Rangers. Now the London club is in 6th place and is headed by “interim” manager, Paul Hall.

Burnley relatively recently was the “champion of the rest of England”. That is, he finished right behind the top 6 giants in the Premier League, even having tried himself in the Europa League - however, without any success. But still, the main achievement of Sean Daish, a mentor of many years, was that he kept a modest club in financial terms in the Premier League. But in 2021/2022, both the manager and his former wards were blown away. As a result, Vincent Kompany appeared at Turf Moor in the summer. This decision caused a rather controversial reaction, because, with the status of an undisputed legend of English football as a player, this is a novice coach, whose results at Anderlecht raise questions. However, so far, “Burnley” with the Belgian actually justifies the most optimistic expectations. Periodically there were unsuccessful stretches - 3 points in 4 rounds back in August, 4 draws in 5 matches in September-October. But in general, with 11 wins and 41 points, after 21 rounds, the club manages to lead alone.
Burnley have recently had good results in personal duels. The last match was won by the Clarets, 1-0 - however, this was back in 2016. QPR has lost momentum, and this should be used by Burnley, who are motivated by the desire to return to the Premier League, and directly. We bet on the next victory of the “clarets” on the road.
Prediction for the match: Burnley to win.
