PREVIEW | Derby County vs QPR - team news, lineups, predictions | OneFootball

Derby County take on QPR at Pride Park this Saturday in Matchweek 12 of the EFL Championship.

The Rams sit 19th in the table with 11 points but will take confidence from their 1-0 victory over Norwich City last time out.

The most recent meeting between the sides ended in a 4-0 win for QPR.

The Fan Zone

Ben Platt (W12 Podcast): Heading into the trip to Pride Park, QPR will travel in decent shape. Since that disastrous 7-1 loss to Coventry in August, the Hoops have generally steadied themselves - in the last eight outings, they’ve lost only once and claimed five wins.

Their away record has been quietly solid: they’ve picked up 10 points from their last four away matches. A good and deserved win away at Swansea on Wednesday means QPR go into this match in high spirits.

Historically in the head-to-head, QPR hold the upper hand: they’ve won five of the last seven meetings with Derby, including a 4-0 win earlier this year.

In regards to team news, Ilias Chair is back in the squad and pushing for a start. Kwame Poku still isn’t ready desperately development squad minutes in the week, same for Jack Clarke-Salter.

Prediction: 1-1
