Wealdstone vs QPR tips and predictions

Tough assignment for Wealdstone

While they have been trading blows in different leagues there is some optimism for the hosts. While it's not particularly unusual to see these big odds against the home team they cannot be written off.

The home side isn't expected to win but they are where you'll find the value.

Wealdstone have got a monumental challenge in front of them but they have reasons to believe they can upset the odds. The hosts have registered 4 wins in 7 matches while the visitors have been defeated in 9 of their last 13 matches home and away. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that is such a massive favourite. QPR have won this before the first whistle has been blown if you believe the experts. However it's worth looking a little closer at how these sides measure up.

The Stones should expect extended periods of play without possession. If the hosts pull this off they'll have gained a lot confidence from their previous outings. The hosts have showed some real class in their previous performances. They scored two or more goals in 4 of their recent 6 matches.

QPR have actually conceded at least once in 17 of their last 19 matches. And the home side will be desperately looking for evidence that they won't be facing huge potency. The visitors haven't really been able to depend on their play-makers in some of their recent engagements. They've scored one or less goals in 9 of their last 10 matches.

Despite the red hot favouritism for QPR it will be fun to see Wealdstone make a match of it. It's not a strong view and it won't be for everyone, but the Yes BTTS bet is the speculative side bet. And in the total goals line, it's no more than three goals for this one considering the prices available. Everything in this preview will rest on how the hosts deal with a standard of football they aren't used to.

So the visitors are obviously legitimate favourites but they are just too short to back. Ultimately football matches come down to which side maintains composure under pressure. There's an argument to be made that the distance between the two sides maybe isn't as significant as you think. Sometimes it just takes half a chance. At the price available, Wealdstone are the pick.
