Queens Park Rangers will host Blackburn Rovers at the Loftus Road Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have endured disappointing results in recent outings and will be looking to get back on track this week as they sit 14th in the league table with 38 points.
They suffered a 2-1 defeat away at Millwall on Saturday, falling behind in the opening minute of the contest and drawing level in the third minute before conceding a second and final time midway through the half.
Similarly, Blackburn Rovers have struggled to perform in the league of late, although they managed to return to winning ways last time out, beating Preston North End 2-1 on home turf featuring goals from Makhtar Gueye and former Rangers man Todd Cantwell.
The visitors have now climbed back into the promotion playoffs spot, sitting fifth in the league table with 45 points and will be keen to pick up back-to-back league wins for the first time since mid-December.

Queens Park Rangers vs Blackburn Rovers Prediction
QPR are on a run of back-to-back league defeats after losing just one of their previous 13 in the competition. They have, however, won all but one of their last six home matches and will head into this one as slight favorites.
Blackburn, meanwhile, saw their latest result end a three-game losing streak and will be looking to take inspiration from that this week. They are, however, winless in their last four away league games and could lose this one.
