QPR vs Sunderland Prediction

Both sides have been in similar form of late, however, the level of competition that the two sides have faced has been vastly different. The Hoops play in a division above Sunderland and the difference in quality should come to the fore on Tuesday, especially with Mark Warburton's side having home advantage.

We predict QPR will win the game comfortably.
