Peterborough United vs QPR Prediction

QPR are currently on a good run of form but their struggles on the road could be detrimental to their promotion bid. However, they will fancy their chances of getting a second away win of the season against a Peterborough side that have struggled since their promotion.

The hosts have the worst defense in the league and this does not bode well for them against the side with the second-best attack. QPR for all their attacking brilliance are also defensively suspect and this could translate into an exciting game with plenty of chances.

We are backing the visitors to secure victory with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Peterborough 1-3 QPR
