English League Championship Neil Warnock made winning start as the latest manager at Queens Park Rangers, and he will look to add another win to his account as they host second from bottom Plymouth Argyle.
But ambitious R's are still in poor position in league, much worse than they were expected, and will have to work hard to improve their situation, and run away from relegation zone.
Although they're coming to this match after impressive and unexpected win against West Bromwich, their form is still quite poor, with just two wins and one draw in last 10 league games.
Neil Warnock will check Lee Cook's fitness before the game, while Martin Rowlands and Gavin Mahon are long term absentees.
Plymouth are second from bottom, with huge problems fighting relegation, but were tough nut to crack in last couple of weeks. They earned draws against solid Swansea, Preston and Leicester sides lately, and made big troubles to Sheffield United and made Blades work hard for their 4-3 win.
Plymouth boss Paul Mariner could be without midfielder Craig Noone who picked injury against Preston, and also without Chris Clark as another injury doubt, while defender Reda Johnson is definitely ruled out.
But Mariner should have enough options, as he brought few faces on loan, including Burnley defender Richard Eckersley, and Blackburn playmaker Alan Judge.
QPR are favorites here, but bookies made them too big favorites. There's no way they can be priced around ridiculous 1.70 in this match, and their expectations from pre season are again one of the main factors which affected the odds here.
Also, Argyle are bogey team for Rangers during last several years and R's failed to beat them in their last 10 meetings.
This match is great LAY material, and 1.78 at Betfair and WBX looks acceptable to me.
