QPR and Luton are both entering new periods under different managers but the R’s begin their new chapter in better shape than the Hatters and can be trusted to take all three points.
A lack of goals has been an issue for QPR since the uncertainty over Beale’s future emerged but the return of Ilias Chair and newfound stability in the dugout could prove a turning point.
The Londoners are not without a goal threat, scoring two or more goals in nine of their first 16 Championship outings of 2022-23. They should now be expected to address their recent slide and get back towards that level, so over 2.5 goals.
But the best bet looks a straight backing of QPR.
