Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There is 76% chance of QPR and Preston a maximum of 3 goals combined during this Championship fixture according to our predictive algorithm and, without a strong favourite in the WDW market, we think that's where the smart money should go. Our calculations are made based on 20-game form, historical head-to-head (H2H) stats and the view of the betting market, and you can go with it at a best price of 1.22.
