Friday night's Championship action sees QPR take on Derby at Loftus Road, with John Eustace expected to take charge of the Rams for the first time.

Our in-form tipster Adam Drury has put together two bets for the game.

Ilias Chair to take 2+ shots

I nearly put up Chair to score here, considering he has taken the most shots in the division of all players yet to find the net and those runs don't tend to last forever.

But though his shot numbers are high, the quality of the chances he is getting on the end of is not great, so we'll take a less risky approach.

The Moroccan has taken at least two shots in three of his last five home games and is increasingly playing a more central role for QPR, from where he had four efforts against Blackburn last time out at Loftus Road.

In a game against Derby where the Hoops will fancy their chances of getting on top, two more attempts on goal does not seem much to ask.

Kenzo Goudmijn to take 1+ shot

In the same market, we'll take Goudmijn to have at least one pop at goal at the other end.

The visiting midfielder has been shot-happy all season, averaging 1.59 efforts per game – and this line has been covered in 16 of his last 21 outings.

The Dutchman had four efforts against Oxford at Pride Park on Tuesday night and merging this bet with Chair forms a nice double.

Ebou Adams to be carded

We will also add an Adams card into the mix for a much longer-priced bet builder.

The midfielder has gone into the referee’s notebook nine times this term, with six of those yellows coming on the road, including Derby's last away trip at Norwich.

He ranks third in the entire division for fouls per game, comfortably clear of the rest of his team-mates, while QPR have extracted a booking from an opposition central midfielder in six of their last eight matches.
