S.P. Read Esq: QPR v Brentford

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to Monday’s Championship clash between QPR v BRENTFORD and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

It’s a good week for televised football with Premier League action on Tuesday and Wednesday but ahead of that a trip to West London for the QPR v Brentford derby at what is expected to be a cold Loftus Road.

At first glance it seems a little surprising to see Brentford edging favouritism but then you realise that QPR manager Ian Holloway has a defensive headache on his hands, with centre-back Joel Lynch (foot) and right-back Darnell Furlong (sore knee) sidelined and Nedum Onuoha (hamstring), Grant Hall and James Perch (knee) all out.

Brentford also hold the recent edge over QPR having won their last three meetings and QPR are heading into this on a three match losing streak.

The Bees are hitting form, winning four of their last seven games and drawing twice.

Bookings looks a tempter buying at 41. Stephen Martin is relatively lenient as a ref but this should be a feisty affair and hopefully limited downside with the buy on Star Spreads.
