Bookies Predicting a Close Encounter

The bookmakers have priced up the Full-Time Result odds and Oxford United are +140 to come out on top, while Queens Park Rangers are +200. The draw is available at +220 if you expect the clash to finish level.

Oxford and QPR can be backed at -152 and +104 respectively on the Draw No Bet market. This is an ideal route for bettors who want to ensure they have money back if the scoreline ends level.

Under 2.5 Goals is currently the betting favourite and a bet on this option would mean you need no more than two goals to be scored. If you think both teams will score, then BTTS Yes could appeal. Otherwise, you can back BTTS No as an alternative.
