QPR and Rotherham United will square off at Loftus Road in an EFL Championship matchday five fixture on Saturday.

The hosts come into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat at the same ground to Blackpool on Tuesday. Josh Bowler's strike in first-half injury time proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Rotherham United settled for a share of the spoils in a goalless draw away to Preston North End. The game was dominated by the hosts but a strong defensive showing from the Millers saw them leave Deepdale with a point.

The draw ensured they maintained their unbeaten start to the season and they currently sit in 10th spot, having garnered five points from three matches. QPR sit in 16th place and have three points to show for their efforts in four matches.

QPR vs Rotherham United Prediction

Newcomers Rotherham United have started the season on a stronger note than expected after gaining promotion. Their strong defense has been the cornerstone of their impressive start, having conceded just one goal in three matches.

QPR, by contrast, have been more inconsistent and need to get back on track if they are to boost their chances of returning to the top-flight after eight years away. We are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring draw.

Prediction: QPR 1-1 Rotherham United
