Norwich vs QPR: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Norwich vs QPR in the Championship. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 15:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Norwich vs QPR

• Date: Saturday, 29 November 2025

• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT

• Venue: Carrow Road

Norwich will be looking to bounce back from a string of inconsistent results, with their recent home draw against Oxford United offering a glimmer of hope. The predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should provide a solid defensive structure while allowing players like Marcondes and Sargent to exploit QPR's backline. However, they'll need to be wary of QPR's attacking threats, especially with players like Chair and Burrell in form.

QPR, on the other hand, come into this match with a bit more confidence after securing back-to-back wins against Blackburn and Hull City. Their predicted lineup suggests a balanced approach, with Varane and Madsen anchoring the midfield and Dembélé providing creativity. If they can maintain their recent defensive solidity, they could pose a real challenge to Norwich's home record.

Norwich's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with no wins in their last five matches but two hard-fought draws. Their latest result, a 1-1 draw at home against Oxford United, might give them a slight boost in confidence. However, with three losses in their last five games, including a heavy defeat away to Birmingham, they'll need to find some consistency if they're to turn their fortunes around.

Recent Championship Results:

• Draw: 1-1 vs Oxford United (H)

• Loss: 1-4 vs Birmingham (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Leicester (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Sheffield Wednesday (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Hull City (H)

QPR have shown signs of improvement in their recent performances, securing two wins in their last five matches. Their most recent victory, a 1-0 win away at Blackburn, will have boosted their confidence significantly. Despite a couple of losses earlier in the run, including a heavy defeat at home to Ipswich, their back-to-back wins against Blackburn and Hull City suggest they're finding some form at the right time.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 1-0 vs Blackburn (A)
• Win: 3-2 vs Hull City (H)
• Draw: 0-0 vs Sheffield Utd (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Southampton (H)
• Loss: 1-4 vs Ipswich (H)

The head-to-head record between Norwich and QPR has been closely contested recently. In their last five meetings, both teams have won once, with three draws. The most recent encounter ended in a 1-1 draw, suggesting that these matches are often tight affairs. QPR's 3-0 victory prior to that shows they are capable of dominating Norwich, but the Canaries have also shown they can come out on top, as evidenced by their 1-0 win in November 2023.

• Predicted lineup: Kovačević (GK), Stacey (DF), Darling (DF), McConville (DF), Fisher (DF), McLean (MF), Topić (MF), Makama (MF), Marcondes (MF), Schwartau (MF), Sargent (AT)

Norwich's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should provide a solid defensive base with McConville and Darling at the heart of the defence. The attacking trio of Marcondes, Schwartau, and Sargent will look to exploit any gaps in QPR's defence, with McLean and Topić providing support from midfield.

• Predicted lineup: Hamer (GK), Mbengue (DF), Dunne (DF), Cook (DF), Field (DF), Madsen (MF), Varane (MF), Dembélé (MF), Saito (MF), Chair (MF), Burrell (AT)

QPR's predicted 4-2-3-1 setup will likely see Cook and Dunne forming a strong defensive partnership, with Field offering support from the left. The midfield duo of Varane and Madsen will be crucial in controlling the game's tempo, while Dembélé and Chair will look to create chances for the marauding Saito and Burrell.

• Josh Sargent vs Steve Cook: Sargent's pace and movement will be tested against Cook's experience and defensive nous.

• Oscar Schwartau vs Karamoko Dembélé: Schwartau's determination on Norwich's left flank will be crucial in containing Dembélé's creativity.

• Emiliano Marcondes (Norwich): Marcondes' ability to unlock defences with his passing could be key for Norwich.

• Jonathan Varane (QPR): Varane's control and distribution from midfield will be vital for QPR's game plan.
