QPR v Aston Villa

QPR are terrific value to beat Aston Villa when the pair meet on Friday night, as they look to continue an impressive surge up the table.

After four games of the season, QPR sat rock bottom, pointless and with a negative 11 goal difference. By contrast, Aston Villa were unbeaten (2 wins and 2 draws) and had a plus three goal difference.

Fast forward a couple of months, and QPR are now up to 13th in the table and have improved their goal difference to minus 5 (so +6 over the last ten matches), while Aston Villa are down to 16th, and have a net level goal difference.

The appointment of Dean Smith may not be enough to resolve their issues, and their lack of steel at Norwich saw them throw away an early lead.

Cast aside the reserve side performance in the EFL Cup against Blackpool, and QPR have now won five of their last eight, and only Derby have scored against them in the last four.

Villa have won just twice in 13 now, and a new manager isnt enough to warrant this being close to a pick em match. The money is coming for QPR already, so get involved nice and early is the advice in this one.
