Norwich City will welcome QPR to Carrow Road for an EFL Championship matchday 17 fixture on Saturday (November 25th).
The hosts will be looking to build on their 3-2 comeback away victory over Cardiff City before the international break. They went ahead through Christian Fassnacht's 22nd-minute strike but Josh Bowler and Callum Robinson found the back of the net to give the Welsh outfit a 2-1 lead at the break. Ryan Wintle's 82nd-minute own goal drew the game level while Adam Idah scored the match-winner two minutes later.
QPR, meanwhile, could not be separated in a goalless draw at home to Bristol City.
The stalemate left them second-from-bottom having garnered 10 points from 16 games and they are currently five points from safety. Norwich City are 16th with 20 points to show for their efforts in 16 games.

Norwich City vs QPR Prediction
Norwich City were in freefall a few weeks ago but claimed a much-needed victory before the international break. The manner in which David Wagner's side claimed victory would be a major boost and they would now attempt to climb up the table.
QPR have had a disastrous start to the season and only an even more atrocious start by Sheffield Wednesday has kept them off the foot of the table. They have struggled in attack but Norwich's expansive style means Marti Cifuentes' side could create enough chances to score.
We are backing the home side to claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.
