Bet up to £25 risk-free on QPR slipping up
Cardiff and Norwich were both victorious in the Championship this week, denying QPR the chance to confirm promotion against Derby in Monday's televised encounter, though even if the opportunity had arisen, there is no guarantee that they would have taken it.
The second-tier table-toppers have been fantastic at Loftus Road this season, losing only once and winning each of their last four there, however they have a dismal record when hosting Derby, last defeating them in 1982 and winding up pointless on five of the last eight occasions.
That and Derby's tendency to raise their games against the division's most impressive clubs, having held QPR at Pride Park - in a fixture they led 2-0 - beaten Leeds home and away and taken four points off Swansea, indicates that the Hoops should be laid at [1.5], or the draw backed at [4.6].
Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £25 on this match and have your stake refunded if your punt proves unsuccessful.
The Rams have been beaten in just two of their last six away outings, with three of those finishing level, while the fact that 1-1 is such a frequent scoreline in clashes between the two teams, cropping up in three of their last six west London meetings, suggests that's a great bet too at a massive [10.0].
Also worth noting is that Nigel Clough's side have conceded the opener in their last two games and recovered to claim four points, a statistic that could prove useful ammunition for in-play punters, and perhaps also lends itself to a small stake on Derby triumphing from behind at [26.0].

Disagree? Think QPR will win easily? The half-time/full-time double is [2.34]...
