Queens Park Rangers vs Norwich City 16.08.2023 Prediction: EFL Cup

Match Overview

The first round of the EFL Cup, also known as the Carabao Cup, will see a fabulous game between Queens Park Rangers and Norwich City at Loftus Road in London. James Linington is the referee for the game. Queens Park Rangers have not won a single game at home in their last five outings and this will hamper their chances of getting this early season win.

Key Highlights

Both these teams, who were a part of the Premier League not too long ago, will want to prove to their supporters that they can go further ahead in this competition. A lot of teams take this competition lightly but neither Queens Park Rangers nor Norwich City will do that. Having won their last game in the previous game against Cardiff City, Queens Park Rangers will want to continue in the same vein of form.

Injury Report

Jim Dunne, Jake Clarke-Salter and Jack Colback will not be available for selection in this game for Queens Park Rangers. Norwich City, for their part, will have to make do without the services of Milot Rashica, James Tomkinson and Grant Hanley among others. 

Prediction

Out of the sixteen games that they have played between each other, Queens Park Rangers have won just two. Norwich City have been victorious on eight occasions while the other six matches were played out as drawn encounters. As far as history is concerned, and for our own prediction, we expect Norwich City to either win or draw this game.
