ENGLAND ..............CHAMPIONSHIP

QPR- CRYSTAL PALACE

The weather remains pretty dismal in the UK and underfoot conditions will not be ideal for two sides that like to try and play football. I rate both of these better than the league table suggests and expect both to be knocking on the playoff door at least, especially Rangers. H2h meetings are traditionally very close and I feel both will start very cautiously this evening, Palace will be happy to keep things tight as the visiting side, against such a strong home team and QPR will be nervous after their terrific run came to an end on Friday night, with a loss to a physical Leicester City side, who knocked them out of their stride.

Hosts have kept an incredible 13 clean sheets in 15 first half starts and Palace have gone in level at the break in 8 of their last 11 games, only trailing in one of those. Given those stats and the prevailing conditions, I see the half time draw as offering terrific value.

6.5 points Half Time draw 2.20 + exchanges.

Good Luck.
