Luton Town vs QPR Player To Watch - Karamoko Dembele

Karamoko Dembele has had a pretty insane career already and he is still only 21 years old. However we would expect him to have a big impact in this game.

Dembele has really shone after joining QPR on loan earlier this transfer window. In his opening two games he has threatened tremendously creating 12 chances - more than any other player in the league this season.

It is only a matter of time before his impact becomes effective and starts putting the ball in the back of the net and we would expect against a struggling Luton side this could be his week.

Luton Town vs QPR Prediction

Unexpectedly this match is set to be an intriguing battle at the bottom of the EFL Championship table with both sides struggling thus far this season.

However, QPR have shown a lot of quality in recent weeks especially creating a lot of chances and threatening to potentially push on for the remainder of the season. This could be a massive opportunity for them.

Luton aren’t a side to lie down easily with their squad looking to turn around their start to the season and reach the potential they have done in previous seasons - they were in the Premier League last year after all.

That is why our team of professional tipping experts are backing a QPR Win/Draw Double Chance in this fixture. With odds of 20/21, £10 has the potential to return up to £19.80 making it our best value tip for this fixture.
