QPR and Preston North End start their 2025-26 Championship campaign with a matchday one fixture on Saturday at Loftus Road with renewed hopes and optimism. This match may not be an entertaining one between the Rangers and the Lilywhites, but our prediction is a home win.

Both teams finished in the bottom half last year in the Championship. QPR were 15th with 56 points, while Preston finished 20th with 50 points and just a single point above the bottom three teams. With 20 draws, Preston had the most stalemates in the league campaign last year.

QPR will be out to change that, especially as they did a season double against Preston last year with 2-1 wins both home and away. The Rangers had their difficulties with injuries last season and will be looking to steer clear of danger this time out.

One win out of the recent four friendlies (W1, D2, L1) isn’t pretty reading, but QPR will hope to continue their impressive recent record against Preston.

The visitors had a difficult time in the pre-season, losing three and drawing one of their five matches. That run continued their poor finish to last season.

Five defeats and three draws from their final eight games of the last campaign is something Preston would want to forget, but doing it here could be out of reach.

Our QPR vs Preston North End Prediction

This is a tricky match to call, with both QPR and Preston looking to push themselves hard for a move into the top half of the table. QPR struggled with injuries last season, and there’s optimism that this new campaign with some shrewd buys will push them towards better placings. Preston lost their key striker Emil Riis to Bristol City and have struggled to strengthen the side, raising doubts if they can move away from the relegation fight.

The hosts hold a slight edge, and hence our QPR vs Preston North End prediction is QPR wins the match.
