Our prediction for this Championship match:
Queens Park Rangers will look to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace when they take on Millwall in the Championship round 6. The Hoops aim to extend their unbeaten run to five games and they are surely capable of making life difficult for the Lions in front of home fans. Sam Field has overcome his minor injury, while Karamoko Dembele returns to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace.
The Lions, on the other hand, head into Saturday’s local derby following a 1-0 loss to Luton. As Millwall struggled offensively in their last league match, we are tempted to put our money on Queens Park Rangers this time out. To make things even more difficult for the away team, both Jake Cooper and Joshua Coburn limped off with injuries in the last league match.
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.
