How sweet are those six little words; no more international football until March? That’s right, no more interruptions to the top two tiers of English football for five more months.
And to mark the unrelenting return of the big boys we’ve got some Championship fare on the telly on Friday night. What better way to see off the international break than with a bit of QPR v Luton?
NEW TO PADDY POWER?
This is a tricky one to call with both going pretty well at the moment. QPR are 6th in the Championship, five places above Luton who continue to go about re-establishing themselves as a solid Championship club in fine style.
While both have been a bit goal mad this season they’ve calmed down recently and both will admit they’ve probably had too many draws. It’s a bit of a head scratcher, so let’s try and make sense of the madness with a Bet Builder.

Friday 7.45pm: QPR v Luton

Score Draw
Putting my head on the block here a bit, I just keep thinking the most likely outcome is the Score Draw. I’m a fan of the work Nathan Jones is doing at Luton but QPR are obviously a good side who are going well.
QPR are midtable in the home form charts while The Hatters are also midranking away from home so there’s no clues there. Both sides have won two in their last five with the Rs drawing two and losing one and Luton drawing one and losing two. The form lines aren’t giving anything away either.
Across the season both have scored and conceded plenty with the hosts firing 28 and shipping 24 in 17 and Luton scoring 26 and conceding 22. I think we’re bang on for a few goals and possibly both cancelling each other out with the Score Draw.
Over 1.5 Goals
Bit of a banker here but Over 1.5 Goals should both click and get us qualifying for Paddy’s free bet four-fold Bet Builder offer. This has landed in four of Luton’s last six and in all bar two of QPR’s Championship games this term.
Both Teams To Score
If we’re going to get a Score Draw then we obviously need Both Teams To Score. BTTS has clicked in nine of QPR’s last 12 games. It’s a little less common for The Hatters, landing twice in the last five, but with QPR’s record and the sheer volume of goals both have scored and conceded I fancy Luton and QPR to net here.
Elijah Adebayo to Score First
Considering these two sides have netted a combined 54 goals this season it’s perhaps a little surprising to see the top scorer across the two squads has just eight goals. Step forward Luton’s Elijah Adebayo who is the sharpest shooter on display on Friday night.
He’s in decent form as well. Adebayo has three in Luton’s last five Championship games, the best numbers of anyone available on Friday night. Scotland star Lyndon Dykes might miss out through injury and Ilias Chair’s remarkable hot streak looks to have cooled a little. At a very appealing price it might pay to back Elijah Adebayo to Score First.
