QPR and Bolton Wanderers will renew acquaintances in the EFL Championship for the first time in seven years. This matchday two fixture at Loftus Road sees us backing a home win, with QPR heading into the contest having won two of their last three league meetings against this opponent, strengthening our prediction for a victory.
QPR enter this clash in high spirits after securing their first three points of the 2026-27 EFL Championship season, leaving them at the top of the table.
The West London outfit laid their matchday one demons to rest by bringing an end to a five-match winless run with a convincing 3-1 away victory against Portsmouth.
It was a much-needed response from the Rs, whose first competitive match started in disappointment. Julien Stéphan's men failed to progress beyond the first round of the EFL Cup after losing 2-0 on penalties to Millwall.
Bolton Wanderers sealed their return to the EFL Championship after seven years with a 4-1 victory against Stockport County in the League One playoff final.
Few were skeptical about their chances of success upon their return, but they silenced their doubters with a convincing performance against Preston.
The Trotters secured a 2-1 win at the Toughsheet Community Stadium. The outcome served as consolation for their prior 1-0 away loss to Sheffield Wednesday in the first round of the EFL Cup.
