Blackburn host QPR at Ewood Park in the EFL Championship on Saturday, with both sides having strong seasons so far.
Blackburn are currently 5th in the table, two points behind their opponents. Tony Mowbray's side have faltered of late, having failed to win any of their last five games. They will hope to turn things around with a win against QPR on Saturday.
QPR are currently 3rd in the league, with a win potentially taking them up to 2nd. Mark Warburton's side have also been in inconsistent form recently, having only won one of their previous six games across all competitions. They will look to bounce back with a win against Blackburn on Saturday.
Both sides will want to climb up the table with a win and that should make for an exciting matchup.
Blackburn vs QPR Head-to-Head
