After a last gasp victory here against Brighton on the opening day, Leeds have had a string of impressive result including beating a resolute Ipswich 2-1 at Portman Road and holding in form Leicester to a goalless draw on their own patch. Brian McDermott may only have a small squad at his disposal, but they seem to be playing for each other and producing results week in, week out.
QPR meanwhile disposed of Sheffield Wednesday on the 3rd August, triumphed over Bolton last weekend, but couldn’t get past Ipswich, drawing 1-1. Harry Redknapp has shipped out a fair few big earners and has the grizzliest midfield in the league with Karl Henry and Joey Barton patrolling the middle of the park.
The two teams are fairly evenly matched and out of the three results, I could see the draw at 12/5 being the preferable pick. A result which will no doubt please the away side more as a vociferous Yorkshire crowd isn’t always easy to play against.Whilst the goals haven’t exactly been flying in for either side since the start of the season, Andy Johnson’s goal could be a turning point for the striker who once scored 32 goals in one season for Crystal Palace. Ross McCormack scored a wonderful goal against Sheffield Wednesday and was also on target in the midweek cup victory over Doncaster, whilst Charlie Austin is bound to recapture his form from last season at some point and start notching goals left, right and centre.
Both Teams to Score at 4/6 looks a good bet and my pick of the aforementioned players would be the in-form Ross McCormack to score anytime 9/5 which looks a tremendous price.
Despite speculation from Middlesbrough and several rebuffed bids, the Scot seems happy with life in West Yorkshire and it could be a profitable season for him.
