Back Luongo to open his account — betting
Friday, 21st Aug 2015 19:28 by Owen Goulding

Professional odds compiler Owen Goulding says Rotherham and Massimo Luongo's respective starts to the season point to the Australian getting his first QPR goal on Saturday.

I was pleasantly surprised, like so many others, to be proved wrong on Wednesday evening as QPR secured an unlikely three points at Wolves. After 30 minutes, it looked like it could be a bloodbath and all credit for Rangers to sticking to their attacking game plan, with Tjaronn Chery and Massimo Luongo in particular showing the kind of tricky, skilful and attacking display most of us have craved for in recent years.

I read a comment on the message board this week from a poster who said something along the lines of 'it's nice to win but id prefer a better defensive display and a few one nil victories to steady the ship'. Personally I couldn't disagree more. I pay my hard earned to be entertained, and I certainly got my money's worth at Molineux on Wednesday evening. It was a pleasure to watch us have 20 efforts on target and still attacking in the 90th minute. Naive? Probably. Will it result in us losing more games than we probably should? Almost definitely. But value for money? Absolutely.

On to Saturdays game. Rotherham are one of the poorer sides in the Championship, there is no doubt about that. A relegation battle awaits them and their opening three games show little promise. A thumping defeat by Milton Keynes on the opening day has been followed with a narrow defeat at Forest which should have been more and a goalless draw against Preston where only the woodwork stopped it being a third defeat in a row for the Millers. Rotherham have struggled to contain tricky, quick-footed attacking players on a number of occasions this season. Mickael Antonio (Forest) and Rob Hall (MK Dons) in particular have given the static Rotherham defence the run-around already, and Chery and Luongo must be licking their lips here.

Match prices feel about right with QPR currently around the 4/5 mark, but If Luongo puts anything like the performance he put in on Wednesday, his opening goal in Rangers colours awaits at HQ on Saturday.

Recommended Bet: QPR v Rotherham - Massimo Luongo to score anytime @ 11/2 (10Bet)

Elsewhere my bet of the weekend comes in League Two where an improving Exeter can see off York City at a decent price. York are not good travellers and with Exeter appearing to hit some form, the 8/5 available looks a must play.

Bet of Weekend: Exeter to beat York @ 8/5 (Betfred)

Big Price Goalscorers: Another good week with Matt Mills netting at a massive 11/1 last week, this weeks anytime scorer selections are

Neduam Onuaha (QPR v Rotherham) @ 14/1 (Betvictor)

Sebastian Bassong (Norwich v Stoke) @ 20/1 (Betway)

Stephen Jordan (Fleetwood v Colchester) @ 20/1 (Coral)

I am keeping a record throughout season based on a £10 bet on each selection tipped.
