Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We don't believe there is a clear favourite to win this match, but what is clear is that the odds suggest it'll have 3 goals or less. Our statistical analysis is inline with them too. Cardiff and QPR have delivered a host of under 3.5 goal games of late, and key performance stats point towards those records being extended. We have confidence in predicting under 3.5 goals on Wednesday evening, and the bookies have it priced at 1.25.
