Free Sky Bet Championship football tips for Tuesday's Live TV matches: QPR v Reading & Sheffield Wednesday v Stoke.

Best bets

QPR-QPR double result
1pt 21-10 BoyleSports, Coral
Sheffield Wednesday to win to nil
1pt 11-4 Sky Bet

QPR v Reading
Sky Sports Football, 7.45pm Tuesday

Team news

QPR
Luke Amos returned at Hull on Saturday and Grant Hall and Matt Smith are also available for selection.

Reading
Andy Rinomhota (illness) should be fit but Charlie Adam is a doubt with a hamstring problem.

Verdict

QPR are odds-on to see off Reading at Loftus Road and it may be worth backing the hosts to take control early on against the sluggish Royals.

Just two of Reading’s 11 league goals have come in the first half of games and they have trailed at the break in four of their last five matches.

The Hoops pose a major attacking threat – Nahki Wells, Jordan Hugill and Ebere Ezi have scored six goals apiece this season – and they can make another fast start.

Key stat

QPR are the only team in the top ten of the Sky Bet Championship without a positive goal difference.

Sheffield Wednesday v Stoke
Sky Sports Action, 7.45pm Tuesday

Team news

Sheffield Wednesday
Defender Tom Lees is still working his way back from a hamstring injury and goalkeeper Kieren Westwood is set to miss out after suffering an ankle injury in the warm-up at Cardiff on Friday.

Stoke
Potters boss Nathan Jones has no fresh injury concerns.

Verdict

Back-to-back victories over Swansea and Fulham have hauled Stoke off the bottom of the table but the Potters face a tricky test at Hillsborough.

They had just 22 per cent of the ball in Saturday’s 2-0 home win over the Cottagers and they may struggle to have much of an attacking impact against Sheffield Wednesday.

The Owls have won to nil at home against bottom-half Luton, Wigan and Barnsley and they could repeat that feat against struggling Stoke.

Key stat

Eight of Sheffield Wednesday’s last 11 league games have featured under 2.5 goals.
