QPR and Huddersfield Town will trade tackles at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on Saturday, with three points at stake in the EFL Championship.

The hosts picked up a 1-0 victory over bottom-placed Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday. A first-half strike by Ilias Chair was enough to give QPR all three points.

Huddersfield Town could not be separated in a goalless stalemate at home to Cardiff City.

QPR's fine recent form has seen them steer clear of the relegation zone and they currently sit in 12th spot, with 46 points from 34 games.

Huddersfield Town are slightly above the relegation spots in 19th spot but are just six points clear of the drop zone.

QPR vs Huddersfield Town Head-to-Head

The two sides have clashed on 36 occasions in the past and Huddersfield Town have a slightly better record.

The Terriers have 14 wins and nine draws to their name, while QPR were victorious on 13 previous occasions.

Their most recent meeting came in December when first-half goals from Josh Korroma and Harry Toffolo gave Huddersfield Town a 2-0 home victory.

QPR saw their five-game unbeaten run come to an end with consecutive defeats suffered against Barnsley and Birmingham City. They have since responded in style with successive victories over Bristol City and Wycombe Wanderers.

Huddersfield are on a four-game winless run and need to start posting positive results if they are to avoid relegation.

QPR vs Huddersfield Town

QPR's good run of form is set to continue with another victory at home. Huddersfield Town's expansive style of play is sure to be exploited by the hosts. However, Carlos Corberan's side could also get on the scoresheet.

Barring an unlikely upset, we expect QPR to record a narrow victory with goals scored at both ends.

Prediction: QPR 2-1 Huddersfield Town
