Speaking post-match, the R’s chief said: “I’m very happy with the way we started the game. I think in the first 10 minutes we could have had two or three goals. In football you need to score your chances, and we need to be more clinical. A lot of the performance pleased me, but the reality is we need to score more goals.”

The midweek match-up against Hull saw QPR return to the Both Teams to Score winners enclosure. Only last weekend’s red card influenced defeat at Blackburn has failed to land for BTTS backers this season and a repeat could well be in the offing here with Derby scoring in all four home dates and firing just two league blanks this season.
Marti Cifuentes has now presided over 40 Championship dates as QPR boss with the average goals per-game coming in at just 2.30. All bar one of those 40 matches produced Under 4.5 Goals, whilst six of Derby’s eight league matches this term have followed suit. Half of the Rams’ eight encounters have gone Under 2.5 Goals.
Total Booking Points – Under 49.5
