QPR haven’t been in the fifth round of the FA Cup since 1997 and Steve McClaren’s side will be hoping to change that when they welcome Portsmouth to Loftus Road.
Both teams are going through a bad run of results with QPR losing three straight Championship games and Portsmouth only managing one win in six games across all competitions.
In terms of the head to head record, QPR are unbeaten in their last 13 home games against Portsmouth. In fact, Pompey’s last win at Loftus Road came in September 1961; back when both were playing third tier football.
More recently, six of the last eight meetings between the two sides have ended as draws. The other two encounters were both won by QPR.
Should the Hoops win this Tuesday, it will be the first time that Steve McClaren has managed a victory over Portsmouth.
Bookmarkers certainly believe that the former England manager can break his duck as QPR are currently the 10/11 favourites. Portsmouth, meanwhile, are priced at 7/2.
The recommendation in this game is to back the hosts. Most encounters between these two sides are normally close contests and with both in a rot, the same can be expected. Therefore, QPR to win by one goal may be the best way to play at around 13/5.
