Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think it's fairly unlikely that this game will serve up 4 goals or more, and the odds and statistics point in the same direction as KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Sunderland and QPR haven't typically treated their fans to thrillers of late, whether that be in the Championship individually or when going head-to-head. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.25.
