Queens Park Rangers welcome Blackburn Rovers to Loftus Road for a clash in the Championship this Saturday.
Following some improved results recently, the Riversiders have got their campaign back on track. Blackburn have won three of the last four games and drawn the other. That is a massive improvement after winning only once from the previous six.
They're now up to eighth in the standings with 11 wins from 26 games. Blackburn even have a game in hand over Bournemouth and Middlesbrough, two sides who are right above them.
Their greatest strength this season has been a menacing attack, led by the in-form Adam Armstrong. He has scored 17 of his side's 41 goals, and trails only Brentford's Ivan Toney in the scoring charts.
The Super Hoops, meanwhile, are down in 17th place after a tough campaign thus far.
In fact, they went the entire month of December without a single win, which left them perilously close to the drop zone.
However, three wins from four games last month has cut manager Mark Warburton and co. some slack. Yet, they remain only four points from the bottom-three.
Queens Park Rangers vs Blackburn Rovers Head-To-Head

Blackburn have been poor away from home, winning only twice from the last 10 away games in all competitions. However, they have a better attack at this point, even capable of blowing QPR out of their own park.
We expect Blackburn Rovers to narrowly beat QPR.
Prediction: Queens Park Ragers 1-2 Blackburn Rovers
