Queens Park Rangers are due to face Brentford at Loftus Road later this evening.

Tommy Smith (L) scores the third goal for QPR

Tommy Smith has told Sky Sports News, which was broadcast on 28th October, that he believes Queens Park Rangers will beat Brentford this evening.

Smith represented both QPR and Brentford during his playing days, and he is set to be in attendance at Loftus Road this evening.

The 36-year-old, who retired in 2015, is expected to see a home victory this evening – but he is not predicting many goals to be scored in the London derby.

“Brentford haven’t scored many in their last four. It’s a big ask for them to go into what is a hostile atmosphere. I will go for a low scoring QPR win,” Smith said, when asked who would win between QPR and Brentford.

QPR and Brentford both head into the game out of form, after struggling in recent weeks.

QPR made a positive start to the campaign, but they have won just twice in their last 11 matches.

Brentford, meanwhile, have gone four matches without a win, and they have only scored once during that time.

As things stand, QPR are in 13th place in the Championship table, while Brentford are in 11th position.

A win for either side tonight would take them to within touching distance of the play off places, ahead of this weekend’s action.
