Norwich vs Queens Park Rangers Prediction 16 August 2017

On August 16 2017 at 19:45 in Norwich at the Carrow Road Stadium in the third game of the English Football League Championship the local Norwich are playing against QPR.

Norwich were relegated at the end of the season 2015/16 and they were probably expecting not to stay in the championship for a long time. Yet, they still didn’t manage to come back to the elite division in the previous season. The manager was replaced after the end of the previous championship in the team. In the first official game of the current season with the new manager on top Norwich drew Fulham 1:1. In the second round they played against Sunderland. The statistics of the match showed the big advantage of Norwich while the score showed their absolute loss 1:3.

As for the directors of QPR, they are much more patient. The rings were rather poor in defense in the previous season and they only gained 53 points in their 46 matches played which let them stay above the relegation zone. Anyway, in the current season their manager changed the scheme of the team to make it work with three defenders. We must admit that QPR show really good results in the current season after that change as they outplayed Reading 2:0 and drew Sheffield Wednesday 1:1.

According to the results of the previous games played between the teams, Norwich are considered to be the favorites of the upcoming one. It’s really difficult to make any suggestions about the successes of the teams in the new season as they are only starting solving the problems they apparently have. We must also admit that Norwich scored their two goals in the previous matches at the end of the second half while QPR scored two goals in the first halves. Anyway, it seems to us that both teams are going to score in the forthcoming match.
