QPR take on the visitors Norwich in the round of 1/64-finals of English Football League Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 16th at Loftus Road (London).
QPR are gradually losing ground. The Super Hoops, despite the catchy prefix in their name, have never been an outstanding club, at least not in recent history. However, after their recent relegation to League 1, they managed to climb back to the Premier League for a couple of seasons. Nonetheless, they then struggled in the Championship, which could have resulted in another relegation, but under the leadership of manager Ainsworth, who took charge mid-season, they secured a 20th-place finish, narrowly avoiding relegation. While it seemed that Queens Park Rangers strengthened their squad in the summer, they started with a 0-4 defeat against neighboring Watford. However, they followed this with a 2-1 away victory against Cardiff.

Norwich are once again banking on a German manager. The Canaries had a different German specialist, Daniel Farke, who led them through the footballing journey, including two consecutive promotions from the Championship. However, the decision to replace Farke and try to remain in the Premier League did not pay off. Moreover, even in the Championship, where they were nominal favorites, things started to go downhill. Eventually, during the 2022/2023 season, with new coach Wagner, Pukki and company found themselves in the lower part of the table. By the way, Pukki has also moved to the USA now. Without him, Norwich started with a victory, but they only managed to secure a 2-1 victory over Hull in added time. On the contrary, Southampton snatched a 4-4 draw in the 97th minute.
Norwich had won 5 out of 6 head-to-head matches, including 3 consecutive wins. However, in the previous season, the clubs played out a couple of draws. The Canaries will be the favorites, even away from home. However, it promises to be an exciting match - expect a total over 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 score goals.
