Southampton vs Qpr Prediction

Southampton host QPR on 31 October 2026 at 18:00 in a Championship fixture that pits the division's in-form home side against visitors struggling away from Loftus Road. The Saints have won four consecutive matches at St. Mary's and scored 1.99 goals per game across their last ten home outings. QPR arrive on the back of a 5-0 demolition of Swansea, but that result masks a deeper problem: four consecutive away matches without a win and an average of 1.71 goals scored per game on the road. Kyle Larin is expected to return to Southampton's attack after injury, adding another dimension to an already potent home threat.

Form and H2H

Southampton's home record stands at six wins, three draws, and one loss across their last ten matches, conceding just 0.90 goals per game. QPR's away form reads four wins, four draws, and two losses in the same span, with a defensive average of 1.10 goals conceded per game. The head-to-head record heavily favours the hosts. Southampton have won four of the last six meetings between these sides, including a 5-0 victory at home in February 2026 and a 2-1 win most recently in November 2025. QPR's last victory in this fixture came in 2015.

Best bet

Southampton 3-1 QPR. The Saints' home dominance, attacking depth with Larin's return, and QPR's fragile away record combine to make a comfortable Southampton win the most likely outcome. Seven of the last ten encounters between these clubs produced at least three goals, suggesting an open match where Southampton's superior home form should prevail decisively.
