Plymouth Argyle vs QPR 29/10 Bet Builder – Mark O’Haire
QPR had to settle for a point against Preston in their Championship curtain-raiser on Saturday, and their first fixture under new head coach Julien Stephan. Rangers took a deserved first-half lead through Ben Whiteman’s first-half own goal, only for the Lilywhites to earn a share of the spoils with a second-half equaliser.
The R’s were without a number of injured players and look likely to ring the changes for Tuesday night’s trip to Plymouth as Stephan sizes up his squad. Goalkeeper Paul Nardi will return between the sticks, whilst summer signings Kealey Adamson, Harvey Vale and Rumarn Burrell could feature from the off at Home Park.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Both sides obliged at Loftus Road on Saturday and ‘Both Teams to Score’ should again go close when QPR travel to recently relegated Plymouth for this EFL Cup clash. Argyle have fired a solitary blank in their last 11 in Devon, and you must go back to 2015 to find the last time the R’s kept a clean sheet on their travels in any cup competition.
Anytime Goalscorer – Rayan Kolli
Talented QPR youngster Rayan Kolli endured a disruptive pre-season, but he came off the bench for half-an-hour against Preston and should be given the opportunity to get more competitive minutes in his legs this midweek. The Algerian youth international scored 0.44 goals per-90 in last term’s Championship, notching six goals overall.
Total Corners – over 7.5
Both Plymouth and QPR have been amongst the corners in the opening weeks of the new EFL campaign. The Greens have seen corner totals of 14 and 11 in their first two League One dates, whilst Rangers’ opener against Preston delivered nine. The duo also saw all of their respective cup matches in 2024/25 breeze past our required total.
