QPR and Blackburn Rovers will battle for three points in an EFL Championship matchday 34 fixture on Saturday.
The home side will be coming into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat away to Middlesbrough last weekend. All four goals came after the break, with Chuba Akpom opening up the score at the 64th minute. The former Arsenal man missed a 77th-minute penalty before converting the rebound, while Riley McGree made sure of the result in injury time.
Blackburn Rovers claimed a narrow 1-0 home win over Blackpool in midweek. Tryhys Dolan's 31st-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The win saw the Lancashire outfit climb to fourth spot on the table, having garnered 52 points from 33 matches. QPR are currently occupying the 18th spot with 39 points, which show their effort in 33 games.

QPR vs Blackburn Prediction
QPR's poor run of form has seen them drop from promotion contenders to looking over their shoulders at the dropzone. Their 10-game winless run represents their worst form since 2006.
Blackburn Rovers are firmly in the promotion race, but this has largely been down to their strong home form as they largely struggled on their travels.
A major problem for John Dahl Tomasson's side has been a lack of goals, but QPR's porous backline could be there for the taking. We are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: QPR 1-1 Blackburn Rovers
