Leeds United take on Queens Park Rangers on Saturday in the Championship, and HITC pundits give their predictions on the likely outcome.
Leeds United 1-1 Queens Park Rangers
Can Leeds get revenge on QPR for their humiliation on the opening day of the season? Form would suggest so, but they must be wary of former striker Matt Smith coming back to haunt them.

Garry Monk’s side have picked up a useful habit of grinding out results but this outcome will largely depend on whether Chris Wood is fit the lead the line after missing the draw with Fulham.

Leeds United cannot afford any complacency going in to their game with QPR. The R’s have won four of their last five games, and represent dangerous opponents for Garry Monk’s men, but Leeds have been impressive at home this season, and if they can keep it tight they should have just enough about them to ensure all three points stay at Elland Road.

Leeds will be left ruing a late Fulham goal that robbed them of all three points earlier this week, but they should overcome QPR, even if it will be tighter than some expect.

Ian Holloway has definitely got QPR moving in the right direction, with four wins in the last five the best record in the division. However, three of those have come at home, and Leeds and Chris Wood – if he is fit – will fancy their chances at Elland Road.

Leeds appear to have put last month’s blip well and truly behind them and are pretty formidable at home so this can only be a home win, for me. QPR rested key players in midweek and still won, however, that may not be enough at Elland Road.
