Blackburn Rovers have picked up 19 points and currently lie in 18th position. In their last match, Valérien Ismaël's team prevailed 1-2 against Preston North End (EFL Championship 2025/26).

QPR have 22 points to their name this season and occupy 15th position in the table. In their last game, Julien Stéphan's team won 3-2 against Hull City (EFL Championship 2025/26).

The last meeting between the two teams ended with QPR winning 2-1.

The Fan Zone

Ben Platt (W12 Podcast): The R’s head into a double-header of away fixtures buoyed by their encouraging 3–2 victory over Hull. Having fallen behind twice, QPR showed real character to turn the game around in what was, overall, a deserved win. Ilias Chair and Jimmy Dunne both found the net, while Rumiarn Burrell grabbed his sixth of the season. Despite their patchy overall form, Rangers have generally travelled well this year and will hope that resilience on the road continues at Blackburn.

In terms of team news, Ben Hamer is set to keep his place between the sticks after replacing the error-prone Paul Nardi. Jake Clarke-Salter made his first appearance in ten months at the weekend and is therefore expected to be rested. Harvey Vale is carrying a knock and remains a doubt, but aside from that, Julien Stephans has a largely full squad available for selection.

Prediction: 1-1
