Best Tip: West Ham to win

It looks like we could well have a dominant side in this game, and it's West Ham. Their recent form statistics show what they've got in their locker on home turf, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they know how to beat QPR too. The odds point towards Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo's side claiming victory in the win / draw / win market, and that's what we're predicting for Friday night too.
