QPR lost to Middlesbrough last weekend in the Championship
Leicester sit just three points off the play-off places
Recommended bet: Over 2.5 goals
QPR may have suffered a 3-1 defeat to Middlesbrough last time out, but the West London club are right in the mix to achieve a play-off spot this season.
The Loftus Road side are in ninth position, but remain just three points behind Hull in sixth place.
Leicester are also moving up the table following a decent run of form. The Foxes have suffered just two defeats across their previous eight league matches.
An away tie against QPR will be tricky, but another three points would see them move even further up the Championship standings heading into Christmas.

Prediction
This match between two teams next to each other in the table could certainly be a feisty affair as Leicester boss Marti Cifuentes returns to his former stomping ground.
With a play-off spot just three points away, both teams will want to come out of the blocks quickly in order to establish the upper hand during the game.
A likely result would probably be a draw, but knowing the Championship, anything can happen.
Given the historical clashes between these two sides and their recent form, goals are to be expected at Loftus Road this Saturday and that looks the best option for punters in this contest.
