QPR vs Plymouth predictions: Goals on the cards in the capital
- QPR are unbeaten in two games in all competitions, scoring four goals during that period
- Plymouth are also unbeaten in two matches, netting four times
- Recommended bet: Both teams to score
QPR and Plymouth will go in search of their first wins in the Championship this season when they meet at Loftus Road Stadium on Saturday.
The two teams have collected one point from their opening two games, both recovering from opening-day defeats.
Team news
R's midfielder Jack Colback will miss Saturday's game due to suspension, having been sent off in the 2-2 draw against Sheffield United after collecting two yellow cards.
Plymouth coach Wayne Rooney has no new injury concerns ahead of kick-off and he could stick with the same starting XI that drew against Hull last time out.
The stats
QPR have conceded six goals in their first three games in all competitions this season, but they have also found the back of the net five times.
The Hoops ended last season with three home wins in four, but they were humbled on the opening weekend as West Brom ran out 3-1 winners at Loftus Road.
The Pilgrims started the season with a 4-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, but they responded with a 3-0 win over Cheltenham Town in the EFL Cup.
A 1-1 draw against Hull City last time out has steadied the ship, but Plymouth have won only one of their previous seven away games in the Championship, losing five times and drawing once.
Prediction
Saturday's game will be competitive and it is a hard one to call, given both teams have improved since the opening weekend.
QPR's 2-2 draw against the Blades was impressive as they came back from 2-0 down at Bramall Lane to claim a share of the spoils, but it is tough to back them to win with any conviction.
Therefore, the smarter play looks to be backing both teams to score, with the two teams impressing in attack but also looking fragile in defence.
Since the turn of the year, QPR have scored in 11 of their 13 Championship home games and they will be confident of netting against Plymouth, who have kept just one clean sheet from their last seven away games in the league.
But the Pilgrims have improved in attack since the opening day of the season, netting four times in their last two outings and they can remain on the goal trail here.
