Saturday 17th November 15:00: QPR V Southampton – Verdict: Draw 23/10
We said last weekend that Mark Hughes has a face like a nightshift in a boredom factory and made light of the fact he’d be soon out of a job – but seeing his face after losing to Stoke has made us think twice about mocking his plight: he had tears in his eyes and looked as if life, and not Stoke, had defeated him.
Few Southampton fans would argue that they have the better side, but they will be hoping that they can take something away from the fixture owing to the dreadful form shown by QPR.
Most will expect QPR to gain that elusive victory, but we recommend the double-chance market rather than the outright. With the exception of the North London Derby, this is the most emotionally charged fixture of the weekend and it’s a hard one to call. It may be harder to watch, if you sympathise with Adkins and Hughes.
