Our Prediction for the Luton Town vs Queens Park Rangers Match
"The Hatters" spent last season in the Premier League, getting a taste of top-flight football after having been absent since the early 1990s. Although they performed reasonably well as newcomers, they couldn't avoid relegation. The London club, as expected, had a mediocre season, finishing 18th with 56 points, just six points more than relegated Birmingham.
Marty Sifuentes, who joined Queens Park Rangers in the fall, managed to stabilize the team's performance, and he continues in his role after having a full pre-season. QPR's squad has been strengthened with the additions of Narti, Saito, Karamoko Dembele, Jonathan Varane, Celar, and Everton. In contrast, little has changed at Luton, with Edwards remaining as the manager and the squad largely unchanged. However, Barkley left, unwilling to play in the Championship, and Walsh is expected to replace him, with McGuinness, who cost over £11 million, bolstering the defense.
The London club's only victory came against Cambridge in the League Cup, alongside a loss to West Bromwich and a 2-2 draw with Sheffield United. They also shared points with Plymouth Argyle. In the cup tie against Luton, it ended in a 1-1 draw, but QPR advanced on penalties. Before that, they suffered a 1-4 defeat to Burnley and played a goalless draw with Portsmouth, despite being a man down for an hour after Kaminski's red card. They also failed to score against Preston, who secured a 1-0 win.
