Our prediction for this Championship match:
There will be fireworks when Queens Park Rangers and Millwall take on each other at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting local derby. The Hoops looked sharp in front of goal in pre-season, and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach. New signings Moses Odubajo, Charlie Austin, and Andre Dozzell are all pushing for a start.
The Lions, on the other hand, are on a quest to return to the Premier League. Millwall, though, are not regarded as good travelers, and seeing that QPR chiefs did well to reinforce the squad, home win should be considered. In their last meeting at the venue the Hoops defeated the Lions 3-2, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be on-loan attacker Benik Afobe.
