QPR take on Millwall at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in their season opener of the 2021-22 EFL Championship on Saturday.
Both sides have enjoyed strong pre-season campaigns and will be looking to take their form into the new season.
QPR were very impressive during pre-season, beating Manchester United 4-2 before holding Leicester City to a 3-3 draw. Mark Warburton's side have strengthened well this summer and will be hoping that their new signings will help them push for promotion.
Milwall also had an unbeaten pre-season campaign and will be looking forward to the upcoming season. Gary Rowett's side will be looking to improve upon their 11th-place finish last term.
The Lions have a relatively easy run of opening fixtures which they should look to capitalize upon.
Both sides will be looking to start their campaigns off with a win and that should make for a feisty matchup.
QPR vs Millwall Head-to-Head
QPR are strong favorites based on the head-to-head record between the two sides and are unbeaten in their last five meetings against Millwall, winning three of them.
QPR came back from 2-0 down to beat Millwall 3-2 the last time the two sides met back in March. Jed Wallace and Mason Bennett gave the Lions the lead before the break, but second-half goals from Charlie Austin, Stefan Johansen and Jordy de Wijs secured all three points for Mark Warburton's side.
