Queens Park Rangers vs Bournemouth Prediction and Betting Tips | January 6th 2024
Queens Park Rangers will host Bournemouth at the Loftus Road Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 FA Cup campaign.
The home side have endured a largely disappointing league campaign and will hope they can find better luck in the FA Cup this weekend. They were beaten 2-1 by Cardiff City in their last match, with Paul Smyth's second-half strike sandwiched between goals from their opponents.
Queens Park Rangers faced Fleetwood Town at this stage of the competition last season, losing 2-1 to the Cods and will hope they can come out on top this time around.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, have enjoyed a strong run of results in the Premier League in recent weeks but will take a break from league assignments this weekend. They suffered a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on the road last time out, finding themselves three goals down before substitute Alex Scott scored a late consolation goal to open his account for the Cherries.
Like their opponents, the visitors were also knocked out at this stage of the FA Cup last season after losing 4-2 on home turf to Burnley.
