The Championship race for the top six and a chance at promotion to the EPL reaches a boiling point in this final chapter. There are still six games left and 18 points to win, meaning the 10th-placed QPR and 15th-placed Preston North End can still make it. Let’s get into our match prediction.
Following their slump of four losses in a row, The Rs have now bounced back with three straight wins to revive their promotion dreams. QPR just beat Watford 2-1 right after their 6-1 thrashing of Portsmouth and 3-1 dominance over Leicester City.
With that kind of form, the visitors can only see themselves extending their dominant run against Preston, which now features four wins in their last five meetings. But the same story might just be playing in Preston, as The Lilywhites lately ended their four-game losing streak with a key 3-1 win over Stoke and crucial 2-2 away draw with Leicester City.
However, for the hosts, they are almost as close to the relegation zone as the promotion playoffs zone. Preston now only surpasses the 22nd-placed Leicester City with 13 points, with 18 points still to play for. If they can’t overcome their slump here, it just might trigger a nightmarish reaction that sees them fighting to remain a division two side in this final chapter.

Our Preston North End vs QPR Prediction
This is just the kind of game where you can’t see any other outcome than both teams scoring. The Lilywhites and The Rs are still in contention for the promotion playoffs, and they’ll be fighting with all they’ve got for a shot at the Premier League next season.
Preston, in addition, will be watching their backs as more defeats down the line could see them exit the championship if the bottom-table teams mount a last-minute resurgence. Hence, our Preston North End vs QPR prediction is BTTS.
