Championship, Regular season, Matchday 9. Kick-off Friday 9 October, 20:00 UK time, at London Stadium, London.

Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

West Ham United v Queens Park Rangers is one to leave alone. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

West Ham should dominate a QPR team that is sliding down the table. The hosts usually dictate play at home: they have carved out more openings than their opponents in four of their last five matches there. QPR are going backwards because they cannot stop conceding opportunities or create their own. The Hammers will miss the bite of Mohamadou Kanté in the middle after his red card, but the visitors are in a much worse state. Without the creative spark of Ilias Chair, QPR will find it impossible to supply their strikers. This allows Jarrod Bowen to take center stage. He has three goals in five games and is the most lethal player on the pitch. His movement decides it.
