Match: QPR v AlbionPrices: Albion 7/4, Derby County 17/10, Draw 2/1 with SkyBet
Last-time out: Albion led twice, but ultimately had to be content with a draw away to title rivals Derby County.* Meanwhile, QPR were held to a goalless draw by Burnley.
Form: Brighton remain unbeaten at the summit, with QPR's championship record now eclipsed. For Rangers though, it is turning into a somewhat disappointing season. Four points adrift of the playoffs, in the wrong half of the table, and their last seven matches have all contained just one goal or less. However, they have not conceded at home for 10 weeks now.**

Result: With QPR currently focusing on being tight at the back, this has all the makings of an tight match.* Some would argue that 17/10 is a huge price for a home side of such reknown, a punt worth making, particularly under a new manager in Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, and an Albion victory would be a highly creditable outcome.Value is hard to come by, unless you are habitually wearing seagulls tinted spectacles, in which case "Albion to win by two goals"is slightly overpriced at 17/2.* Ultimately, however, this is one game in which it is worth keeping your power dry - other than in the goalscorer market.
Goalscorer tips: I tipped Rajiv van La Parra to score the last goal on Saturday, which he very nearly did. Another near miss then and hopefully one that can be rectified by backing James Wilson (7/1) again.
