29 Oct
Summary
- Both teams have 20 points after 12 games.
- Southampton won the last fixture 7-1 on aggregate.
- A record early hat-trick was scored by QPR's Richard Kone.
Southampton is set to face Queens Park Rangers at St Mary's Stadium this Saturday in the EFL Championship. Both teams have accumulated 20 points from their initial 12 league matches, with Southampton currently holding sixth place due to a superior goal difference over QPR. The Saints are on a strong run, being unbeaten in their last four league games with three wins, including a recent 3-2 away victory against West Ham United.
Queens Park Rangers enter this match following an impressive 5-0 home win against Swansea City. Notably, Richard Kone scored a record-breaking fastest hat-trick from kickoff within the first 15 minutes of that game. Historically, Southampton has a significant advantage in their head-to-head encounters, boasting 50 wins to QPR's 39 over 116 meetings. Last season, Southampton achieved a league double over QPR with an aggregate score of 7-1, extending their winning streak in this fixture to six matches.
The prediction favors Southampton, given their formidable home record and consistent scoring. They have suffered only one defeat at home in all competitions since February and have won their last three home games against QPR, scoring nine goals. While both teams have injury concerns, Southampton's offensive strength and historical dominance position them as strong favorites to secure a comfortable victory.
