Premier League: Norwich v QPR Odds and Betting Preview

NORWICH, UK – Norwich City host Queens Park Rangers at Carrow Road in their crucial Premier League clash on Saturday. The match as being billed as a close encounter by pundits and bookmakers alike, with home side Norwich starting as slight 5/4 (bet £4 to make £5 profit) favourites with Ladbrokes. QPR, on the other hand, can be backed to secure an important three points on the road at 5/2 with Victor Chandler, whilst the draw is available at an identical 5/2 with William Hill.

After a promising start to the season the Canaries have lost their form, and are currently four games without a victory. Despite being eleventh in the table, they are only two points ahead of seventeenth placed Wolverhampton Wanderers, and manager Paul Lambert will be desperate to calm the nerves of the board and the supporters with a win in this upcoming game. QPR, however, may prove to be tough opposition. Neil Warnock’s side have plenty of positive momentum, having defeated Stoke City 3-2 away last weekend, and will doubtless be eager to produce a similar display in Norwich on Saturday. The stage is set for a captivating contest.

In the over/under betting the top price on over 2.5 goals being scored is 19/20 with Ladbrokes, whilst under 2.5 goals is on offer at evens with Stan James. For those punters who think that neither side will lapse defensively in this crucial fixture, however, under 0.5 goals can be backed at considerably longer odds of 11/1 with Victor Chandler.

Norwich captain Grant Holt will start up front on Saturday, and is currently favourite to be the first name on the score sheet at a market best of 11/2 with Coral. Holt’s team mate, Welsh striker Steve Morison, has hit the net four times for his club so far this campaign, and is also deemed likely to open the scoring at a slightly longer 13/2 with Victor Chandler. QPR’s most dangerous attacking player recently has been Heidar Helguson, who can currently be backed to break the deadlock at 8/1 with Bet365. The Icelandic forward is in the middle of a real purple patch, having struck home five times in the last five games.

Norwich are quoted at best odds of 3/1 with Coral to win the match after leading at half time, whilst draw/Norwich is on offer at 9/2 with Blue Square. Draw/QPR is available at 13/2 with Betinternet, whilst those punters who think that QPR will fight back to win the match after trailing at half time can back Norwich/QPR at longer odds of 33/1 with Skybet.

Kick-Off is at 15.00 GMT
