Derby County will host Queens Park Rangers at the Pride Park Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have hit a rough patch in the league in recent games and sit 13th in the table with nine points from eight matches.
Days after a controversial 3-2 defeat to Norwich City, the Rams headed to the Stadium of Light where they faced Sunderland and were beaten 2-0, failing to get on the scoresheet despite a dominant second-half performance.
Queens Park Rangers, meanwhile, have struggled for results in the league this season but remain hopeful of survival. They were beaten 3-1 by Hull City in their last match finding themselves two goals down late in the first half before Nicolas Madsen scored what would ultimately count as a mere consolation goal from the spot as the Hoops fell to their first home defeat to the Tigers since 2019.
