Leicester City vs Queens Park Rangers Prediction and Betting Tips | March 2nd 2024

Fresh off the back of reaching the FA Cup quarter-finals, Leicester City play host to Queens Park Rangers in round 35 of the EFL Championship on Saturday.

Marti Cifuentes’ men journey to the King Power Stadium on a run of two consecutive victories and will be looking to continue their surge from the danger zone.

Leicester City secured their spot in the FA Cup quarter-finals courtesy of a 1-0 extra-time victory over Premier League side Bournemouth on Tuesday.

The Foxes now turn their attention to the Championship, where they have lost their last two outings, suffering consecutive defeats against Middlesbrough and Leeds United respectively.

Despite their recent slump in form in the league, Leicester City sit at the top of the standings with a six-point lead over second-placed Leeds.

Elsewhere, Queens Park Rangers moved out of the relegation zone last time out with a 2-1 victory over rock-bottom Rotherham United at the Loftus Road Stadium.

Cifuentes’ side are now unbeaten in six of their last seven matches — picking up four wins and two draws — with a 1-0 loss at Stoke City on February 14 being the exception.

QPR currently sit above Stoke in the relegation zone thanks to their superior goal difference, but they could move level with 18th-placed Birmingham City with a win this weekend.
