Venue: Loftus Road


QPR v Millwall Match Preview

An all-London clash opens Saturday’s Championship action as Queens Park Rangers welcome Millwall to Loftus Road, with just a single point separating the two sides in the table. Both teams are firmly in the early play-off picture and will be eager to maintain their momentum after the international break.

QPR entered the break in superb form, putting together a six-match unbeaten run that featured four wins and two draws. Victories over Charlton Athletic, Wrexham, Stoke City, and Bristol City have lifted the R’s into the top six and restored belief among supporters that a promotion push could be on the cards under manager Julien Stéphan.

It’s been a remarkable turnaround for QPR, who were humbled 7-1 by Coventry City earlier in the season but have since tightened up defensively and become a far more cohesive attacking unit. French playmaker Amir Kone has been central to that resurgence, scoring in four of his eight Championship appearances and offering consistent creativity in the final third.

Opponents Millwall will also feel encouraged after heading into the break on a high, following a 3-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion. That result provided an immediate response to their previous heavy 4-0 defeat to Coventry City, and manager Alex Neil will be hoping his side can build on that victory to close the gap on the top six.

The Lions’ form, however, has been inconsistent — two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six league matches — and both of their victories in that run came at The Den. Away from home, Millwall have been competitive but not ruthless, with back-to-back draws at Charlton and Swansea showing resilience but a lack of cutting edge on their travels.

Both sides have displayed flashes of quality in recent weeks, but with defences improving and attacking output sometimes patchy, another tight contest could be on the cards in W12.

QPR v Millwall Prediction

Both London rivals head into this clash in solid form and boasting renewed confidence. QPR have been tough to beat at Loftus Road recently, while Millwall have proven stubborn on the road. With defences likely to be on top and the sides so evenly matched, a stalemate looks the most probable outcome.

Conclusion

With both clubs riding a wave of positive results and separated by just a point, this fixture has all the makings of a tight, tactical contest. QPR’s momentum at home could help them dominate possession, but Millwall’s resilience and counter-attacking strength should see them take something from the game. A draw offers the best value.
