QPR v Leicester Betting Preview

Brian Power is back to cast his eye over tonight's clash between QPR and Leicester at Loftus Road, and look for value elsewhere in the weekend markets.

Brian Power
Leicester come to town and they have settled back in the championship very well and I can see it being a close game. My cash is going on first scorer and Damion Stewart is the poor player who gets the curse this week against both the foxes and Palace who arrive in W12 next Tuesday.

Elsewhere the Melbourne cup takes place in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Australia comes to a standstill and it is a shame that the UK doesn’t have a sporting event like this that brings the Nation together at one time. The closest we get is the ladies Olympic beach volleyball final where the entire male population is glued to the screens. Back to the Melbourne cup and I will have a £5 e/w on Master O’Reilly.

For the weekend:
£5 1st scorer Damion Stewart v Leicester
£5 1st scorer Damion Stewart v Palace

£4 trebles and accum
Villa 9/5
Wigan 13/8
Bury 8/5
Bradford 6/4

£10 treble
Charlton 11/10
Southampton 6/5
Norwich 11/10

£5 e/w Melbourne cup Master O’Rellly 16/1
