Our forecast for this game in the Championship:
Player in focus (Josh Windass):
John Windass was born on January 9, 1994 in Hull, England and is currently a member of Wigan Athletic as a professional football player. Windass was trained in the Huddersfield Town youth academy, but did not compete at the senior level for the team.
The midfielder, who stands at 175 cm tall, started his professional career with Accrington Stanley. After scoring 22 goals in 77 league matches for the team, he transferred to Glasgow Rangers in the summer of 2016. Two years later, Josh Windass signed with Wigan Athletic and has been a member of the team at DW Stadium ever since. He made his first Championship goal on September 18, 2018 in a 2-1 victory against Hull City.
Josh primarily plays as an attacking midfielder, but he also has experience as a central midfielder and second striker. It is worth mentioning that Josh’s father, Dean Windass, was a professional footballer who represented teams such as Hull City, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United, and Bradford City.
Highlighted Team (QPR):
QPR, short for Queens Park Rangers, is a popular football club that was established in 1886. Their home ground is called Loftus Road Stadium, which was built in 1904 and can hold up to 18,439 people. Interestingly, the highest attendance at this stadium was recorded on 27 April, 1974 when 35,353 fans came to watch the match between QPR and Leeds.
In the 1975/1976 season, the Hoops secured second place in the First Division standings, with Liverpool taking the top spot. This is widely regarded as the club’s greatest achievement, although Queens Park Rangers also reached the FA Cup final in 1982.
QPR lost to London-based team Tottenham Hotspur in the final match, but they managed to triumph in the League Cup competition in 1967. Brentford, Chelsea, and Fulham are QPR’s primary competitors, but other London clubs are also considered rivals. QPR’s jerseys feature blue and white.
