West Ham United and Queens Park Rangers have met many times, and this pair rarely finishes far apart. In their last six meetings there were as many as three draws. This time the context is different because both are picking up points in the upper group of the Championship table together. West Ham United have opened the season strongly, scoring 22 goals from 8 matches, and they had just thrashed their opponents 6-0 in the league before stumbling to a 2-2 draw in their latest match. Queens Park Rangers, meanwhile, come in with a defence tighter than anyone's, conceding just 7 goals from 8 matches, but their attack is still light, scoring 10 goals, and in their last five matches they have scored fewer than two goals every time. Their solid defence has kept them unbeaten in 3 straight matches, but they have won only once in that same stretch. The pattern of play is likely to be West Ham United dominating the ball and pushing forward mainly, while Queens Park Rangers sit deep and wait to counter. If the hosts score first and then keep opening up as they did in the 6-0 thrashing, the game has a good chance of finishing with a fairly wide margin. But if the visitors hold out until the closing stages, the game could turn into hard work for the hosts.
