Newcastle United visit already relegated Queens Park Rangers on Saturday and this time there will be no excuse for not winning the match and getting the three points that would secure their Premier League status. QPR won't let them win easily though, they have nothing left to lose and they will surely try to give their fans a good match to wrap up their adventure in the top flight. Newcastle haven't lost any of their last nine league matches against QPR. The last win for the Rangers against the Magpies was back in 1995. The reverse fixture was won by Newcastle 1-0 thanks to a goal from Moussa Sissoko.
Queens Park Rangers were thrashed 6-0 last weekend by Manchester City, a result that confirmed their relegation. Head coach Chris Ramsey took over from Harry Redknapp in February but was unable to steer the club away from the danger zone. Ramsey has not won any home matches so far in the Premier League, with five defeats and one draw. A good result against Newcastle might give him a better chance to remain in charge next season in the Championship. The manager has said that QPR will field their strongest eleven against Newcastle.
Newcastle finally ended their losing streak last week, when they secured a 1-1 home draw against West Brom. Before that match they had lost no less than eight games in a row. The Magpies are two points ahead of Hull City with two matches left in the season, so a win at Loftus Road would give them safety if the Tigers fail to win at Tottenham. But if Newcastle lose and Hull win then the Magpies would drop into the relegation zone before the last match of the Premier League season. Papiss Cisse might start after coming off the bench against West Brom last weekend.
Probable line-ups:
Queens Park Rangers: Green - Onuoha, Dunne, Hill - Phillips, Henry, Fer, Barton, Hoilett - Zamora, Austin
Newcastle United: Krul - Janmaat, Coloccini, R Taylor, Dummett - Gutierrez, Sissoko, Colback, Cabella, Perez - Cisse
My prediction: 1-1 draw.
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
QPR win - 3.10 Draw - 3.50 Newcastle win - 2.40

Newcastle is team who is in the worst form in Premier league. They just keep losing from match to match and now (after solid start of season) they are not safe at all. They must win in last game of season if they wan't stay in premier league or they can wait for Hull to lose, but this is bad situation for them and when...
Newcastle is team who is in the worst form in Premier league. They just keep losing from match to match and now (after solid start of season) they are not safe at all. They must win in last game of season if they wan't stay in premier league or they can wait for Hull to lose, but this is bad situation for them and when you are in situation like that you can't wait for another result to be good, you must fight and win. I expect that Newcastle will stay in Premier league.

I don't know what is going on with Newcastle players. They didn't forget to play football. It will be hard week for them. Their fans will be disappointed if they be relegated. Next game they play home vs West Ham and they need to win and secure place in Premier league next year. QPR played great game, for themselves and...

Next game they play home vs West Ham and they need to win and secure place in Premier league next year. QPR played great game, for themselves and fans. In the end, they won at last game on home court in Premier league.

Newcastle are the worst team at the moment in the Premier League or at least the team in the worst shape. After this loss they really deserve to be relegated but they are still two points clear of Hull who are the other team in terrible condition. Everything will be decided in the last day of the season.

This match is very very important for Newcastle. They must to win. No other options for them. They are in dangerous position and if they want to avoid relegation need to win games. Today, Newcastle is going to London to play against QPR. QPR is already relegated and they want to bring Newcastle with them. My prediction...
