Queens Park Rangers will host Reading at the Loftus Road Stadium on Friday night in another round of Championship football.
The Rangers have enjoyed a largely solid start to their league campaign and have begun an early push for the playoffs. They picked up a hard-fought 1-0 win over league leaders Sheffield United in their game on Tuesday, with the team's top scorer Christopher Willock scoring the sole goal of the game early after the restart.
Queens Park Rangers have picked up 21 points from 12 games this season and sit fourth in the Championship standings. They will be looking to continue their good run of form this weekend.
Reading have also had a positive start to their season and will fancy themselves early promotion contenders with the season now in its second quarter. They held second-placed Norwich City to a 1-1 draw in their last game, with Newcastle United loanee Jeff Hendrick scoring a leveler on the hour mark with his first goal for the club.
The visitors sit a place and a point above their weekend opponents in the league standings and will aim to widen that gap this Friday.

Queens Park Rangers vs Reading Prediction
QPR are on a run of back-to-back victories and are undefeated in their last four league games. They have, however, won just two of their five home games this season and will be hoping they can capitalize on their home advantage this weekend.
Reading are on a three-game unbeaten run and have lost just one of their last five matches. They have won two of their last three games on the road but may have to settle for a point here.
