Our prediction for this Championship match:
Tuesday’s postponed fixture at Loftus Road pits together Queens Park Rangers and Blackburn Rovers, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. The Hoops aim to recover from back-to-back defeats to Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Riversiders. All Jake Clarke-Salter, Karamoko Dembele, Lucas Andersen, and Zan Celar remain in the treatment room.
Blackburn Rovers, on the other hand, did well to put an end to their three-game losing run, with the team beating Preston in front of home fans. The visiting side, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling QPR’s party in London. The likes of Arnor Sigurdsson, Harry Pickering, Hayden Carter, Scott Wharton, Yuki Ohashi, Sondre Tronstad, and Zak Gilsenan miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (QPR):
Queens Park Rangers are well known as QPR. The capital club was founded in 1886 and Loftus Road Stadium is QPR’s ground. Loftus Road Stadium was opened in 1904 and the capacity of the venue 18,439. However, it has to be noted that no less than 35,353 spectators watched the game between QPR and Leeds on 27 April, 1974.
The Hoops finished the 1975/1976 First Division campaign in second position in the standings, just behind champions Liverpool. This is considered the club’s biggest success, but Queens Park Rangers made it to the FA Cup final in 1982 as well.
QPR were beaten by fellow capital club Tottenham Hotspur in the title game, but they did well to lift the League Cup trophy in 1967. Queens Park’s main rivals are Brentford, Chelsea and Fulham, but other clubs based in London are considered QPR’s rivals as well. The colour of QPR’s shirts is blue and white.
