Saturday Live : QPR v Norwich Odds as punters pile into Rangers & Loic Remy
Super Saturday kicks off with QPR v Norwich as Bet365 release the latest odds on the game plus a new free bets offer as the firm report Loic Remy is attracting all the attention.
The early kick-off in the Premier League on Saturday sees Norwich City make the journey to West London to take on Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road, with both sides adding to their squads during the transfer window.
The Canaries will be hoping the arrival of Luciano Becchio from Leeds will help their problems in front of goal, while QPR have spent big in a £10m transfer back to England of Christopher Samba.
Both sides are desperate for the points in this one as QPR sit bottom of the table right now and Norwich are without a win in seven top flight matches, so know they could be dragged into the relegation battle if results don’t start improving.

They each had a good result during mid-week though as Rangers drew at home to Champions Manchester City and the Canaries managed to take a point at home to Tottenham Hotspur.
Harry Redknapp has already admitted to this being a huge encounter for his side and you feel as though it is one that they need to be winning. With this being the early kick-off, they have the chance to put some pressure on the teams around them and move to within just a point of safety.
Against the big teams in the league, QPR have performed well this season, but it has been games such as this one, that they feel they should be winning, which have been tough for them.
Loic Remy is the man likely to be leading the line for the London club in this one and he could cause Norwich’s defence a few problems as at times, they have looked all over the place at the back this campaign.
Redknapp is sure to call upon Loftus Road to be rocking on Saturday and then will hope that the players can use the atmosphere to get off to a flying start.
Despite their position as the bottom side in the Premiership things have looked positive for Redknapp since Christmas and the side are currently unbeaten in four games, drawing three (which includes Man City & Tottenham) and winning at Chelsea.
The price of evens on the home win, is sure to attract plenty of support.
As for Norwich, Chris Hughton would have been happy with the performance against Tottenham as it was a sign that they were ready to return to the kind of for that saw them go ten Premier League games unbeaten.
Sebastien Bassong returned to the starting line-up and the centre-back made a massive different on Wednesday night. He knows he has to be a leader at the back once more here and do all he can to keep the likes of Remy quiet.
Going forward, Robert Snodgrass and Wes Hoolahan have been the key men in recent weeks and Hughton will want them on the ball as much as possible. Hoolahan scored during the week and often finds himself in good positions in and around the penalty area.
The Norfolk side sit seven points clear of the drop zone, which is quite a healthy margin, but the wins have to start coming soon or they could find themselves looking over their shoulders.
Its now seven games without a win for the Canaries and with three consecutive away defeats the 3/1 on the away win should be taken with a pinch of optimism.
Norwich were 2-1 winners in this fixture last season, but a lot has changed at both clubs since then, most notably the two men in charge either side. But, the away side do have the knowhow on this ground.
With plenty at stake, this should be a cracking encounter between two teams whose ambitions for the campaign are similar. Kick-off is at 12.45PM and it could set the tone for another enthralling weekend of Premier League action.
