Sunderland vs QPR 19/10 Bet Builder – Mark O’Haire
The R’s remain without a raft of front-line starters at the Stadium of Light with Steve Cook, Sam Field, Jake Clarke-Salter and Koki Saito still missing through injury. Ilias Chair and Michael Frey are having their minutes managed as they return to the fold and could start here with Min-Hyeok Yang also pushing for a recall.
QPR will be keen to end the campaign on a high against a Sunderland side that come into this clash on the back of four straight defeats, scoring a solitary strike in that same sample. The Black Cats are guaranteed to finish fourth and may look to rest and rotate ahead of their assault on the play-offs, which begin next week.
Sunderland vs QPR – Sat 03 May, 12:30
The final game of the season often has potential for goals, though the Stadium of Light showdown may buck that trend with Sunderland seeing at least one side fail to score in seven of their past eight Championship matches. The Black Cats have blanked in five of those eight dates, recording three clean sheets of their own.
Team Corners – Sunderland Most
QPR have largely impressed in the corner markets this season, though Rangers may fall short in corners on Wearside. The R’s have only won the corner battle five times on their travels and head to a Sunderland side that’s taken that title in 16 of their previous 18 Stadium of Light matches, forcing at least six corners on 12 occasions.
With little left to play for bar pride on both sides, a lower card output is anticipated, especially with reserved referee Anthony Backhouse taking charge of proceedings.
