Coventry vs QPR Prediction
Coventry City have been on an upward trajectory in recent weeks, having overcome their terrible start to the campaign. Their recent good form has put them within touching distance of the playoff spots and having two games in hand makes this a realistic target post the World Cup break.
QPR, by contrast, have been on a free fall compared to the bright start that had them topping the table last month.
Coventry's improved displays have been largely down to a watertight defense and we are backing their backline to propel them to another narrow win.
