QPR vs Leeds Predictions
After the disappointing play-off loss in 2024, Leeds United have aimed to claim a more decisive triumph this season and maintain their position at the top of the Championship.
Defeating Southampton at Wembley was indeed a heartbreaking setback last May. But Daniel Farke and the team have worked tirelessly during the 2024/25 campaign to prevent a repeat performance. As of now, they are comfortably at the top with a four-point lead over Burnley in third place.
However, nine games remain in the regular season, and the job is far from done. A reminder came in early March, with a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion and a 1-0 loss to Portsmouth.
Despite those setbacks, Leeds bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Millwall in a midweek fixture, pushing them further ahead in the standings. With both Burnley and Sheffield United dropping points the same evening, this win has provided some much-needed breathing room at the top.
"It was an excellent win for us tonight in a pretty busy period. Also, it was an excellent performance," Farke told BBC after the Millwall match.
Queens Park Rangers, on the other hand, have had a much less successful run this season. A 4-0 destruction of Derby County on Valentine's Day left them trailing the play-offs by three points. Unfortunately, they have since lost four consecutive games, putting them well behind sixth place with a 12-point deficit.
It is essential for Marti Cifuentes and his side to stop this skid as quickly as possible, as it would take a monumental effort to qualify for the play-offs from their current position.
Betting Tips
Leeds United are fighting to secure promotion to the Premier League, and this match represents a prime opportunity for them to make a solid stride towards that dream.
Leeds United -1.5 Asian Handicap
Leeds have indeed been the top performers of the Championship this season, evident by their +45.6 expected goals difference, which significantly outranks the next-best Coventry City on +14.6.
While Queen's Park Rangers have managed some victories against Leeds in the past, Farke's side has proven its unmatched dominance this season, and it is highly probable that they will secure a convincing win with a two-goal margin.

Second Half Higher Scoring
Leeds have struggled in the first half, ranking fourth in the Championship's first-half table. However, the second half is when they tend to shine, thanks to their strong comeback ability.
This discrepancy is mirrored in Queens Park Rangers' performance, as they rank 10th in the second period and 23rd in the first half.
In light of this data, it is likely that most of the goals in this match will come after the break.

Joel Piroe to Score Anytime
Leeds fans grew anxious when star forwards Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville departed before the start of the season. Their combined 2023/24 goal tallies left big shoes to fill, and Piroe has risen to the occasion marvelously.
Sitting second in the individual goal charts with 15 strikes, Piroe is an obvious choice to notch another goal in this match.
