Blackburn Rovers vs. Queens Park Rangers Prediction: QPR are unbeaten in past five games

Blackburn Rovers welcome Queens Park Rangers to Ewood Park for Matchday 7 of the English Championship. QPR has been unbeaten in their past five games. Who will take the three points at the end of the 90 minutes?

Whereas Blackburn sold out Sammie Szmodics to Ipswich Town, the starting season has been great for them, gaining twelve points from six matches, in what seems to have been a win and draw pattern, although they were helpless in not missing the opponent's net in any of those matches, with the exception of the goalless draw against Preston North End last weekend. Blackburn has started brightly so far, with three wins at Ewood Park and two successive clean sheets coming into this game that don't make for the worst preparation ahead of this highly touted battle between two of the brightest teams running in the championship.

Pears; Carter, Batth, Hyam, Pickering; Tronstad, Travis; Hedges, Dolan, Cantwell; Gueye

QPR visit the North-West on the back of a five-game run without defeat in the league their only defeat on home turf to league leaders West Bromwich Albion. While they have recorded four draws in their last five games, QPR has lost just once in their last nine games since last season. They still though failed to hold a clean sheet throughout this campaign in the Championship.

Eustace will have to shuffle one Blackburner out to make way for another as left-back Owen Beck collected a red card against Preston. Set to deputise for him is Harry Pickering while Andreas Weimann and Makhtar Gueye could well return to the fray. Todd Cantwell and Amario Cozier-Duberry are likely first starters for Blackburn.

If Cifuentes is going to replace the QPR side, then Paul Smyth is likely to start at the expense of Koki Saito out on the wing. Otherwise, any other member of the squad would be good to start and Morgan Fox and Ilias Chair are both currently sidelined with injuries.

Since QPR has been one of the more resilient sides in recent games, Blackburn should thus face a stiff test. We think, however that Eustace's team will have it won at least in both halves.
