Blackburn vs QPR Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Unbeaten Blackburn Rovers face Queens Park Rangers at Ewood Park in both teams' seventh match of the season in the Championship. Will John Eustace continue Rovers’ excellent start to the campaign with another win here, or will Hoops manager Marti Cifuentes defy most predictions for the game and navigate his way to a draw or better?

Freescoring Blackburn have averaged two goals a game in their opening six matches and they remain unbeaten after winning three and drawing three games. Most of those goals, and all the wins, have come at Ewood Park, where they have a 100% winning record and have scored nine of their dozen goals this season.

Rovers weren’t in action in the Carabao Cup in midweek, so their last game was the ill-tempered 0-0 draw away to Preston last weekend, a game which saw left-back Owen Beck handed a red card late in the game. A result which left them fifth in the Championship table.

Queens Park Rangers lie in 14th place in the table, despite losing just one of their six games. Draws have been their main problem, as they have shared the spoils in four of their six Championship games this season.

After an opening day loss to WBA, QPR have been unbeaten in five. Drawing four and winning once, although that 2-1 victory did come on the road away to Luton Town. They were held 1-1 last weekend by London rivals Millwall.
