QPR vs Bournemouth Odds
QPR Team News
Marti Cifuentes had a promising start to his coaching tenure at Queens Park Rangers, securing 12 points in the first seven games. However, a recent five-match winless streak, including four losses, has left the team in a challenging position at 23rd place in the Championship, with only three points above the relegation zone.
After a 2-1 home defeat against Cardiff, QPR is going through a difficult period. They have a history of struggles in the FA Cup, having lost 50 third-round ties, including last season’s defeat to Fleetwood Town.
Injuries to key players like Ilias Chair, Chris Willock, and Steve Cook are a concern, and Jordan Archer may replace Asmir Begovic in goal. QPR has won only once in their last 12 FA Cup meetings with Premier League teams, making the upcoming clash with in-form Bournemouth challenging.
With Rayan Kolli likely to be sidelined, QPR aims to end their eight-game goal drought, with Lyndon Dykes leading the attack. Despite the tough situation, QPR hopes for a turnaround in the upcoming matches, including the crucial FA Cup encounter against Bournemouth.
Bournemouth Team News
Bournemouth ended their impressive seven-match unbeaten run in the Premier League with a 3-1 loss against Tottenham. Despite Alex Scott’s consolation goal, the Cherries experienced their first defeat since November. Although they missed the chance to level with Chelsea in 10th place, they maintain the 12th position in the Premier League, comfortably sitting 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
Ahead of a crucial match against Liverpool, Bournemouth now shifts its focus to the FA Cup to avoid a second consecutive third-round exit against a Championship team. While the Cherries have lost their last two FA Cup games to lower-league opponents, they previously defeated QPR 3-1 in 2021.
Unfortunately, Bournemouth faces a string of injuries, including Tyler Adams, Lloyd Kelly, Lewis Cook, Milos Kerkez, Ryan Fredericks, Darren Randolph, and Hamed Traore. Dango Ouattara is also unavailable due to an ankle injury. Considering the challenges at the left-back position, Andoni Iraola may choose between Marcos Senesi and Max Aarons. Alex Scott will be vying for a place in the midfield, and David Brooks could get an opportunity on the wing, potentially replacing Luis Sinisterra or Marcus Tavernier.

QPR vs Bournemouth Prediction
Bournemouth is the clear favorite in this match due to playing in a higher league, better form, head-to-head performance, and their overall standing in the league. Anything other than an away victory would be a significant surprise.
