Queens Park Rangers and Preston North End will face off at Loftus Road in the EFL Championship on Saturday afternoon. The two games between these sides ended 1-1 last season, and our prediction is that both teams will get on the scoresheet in this one as well.
After a poor end to last season, QPR have made an impressive start to this campaign, losing only one of their first seven matches (W3 D3), which sees them sat fifth in the league standings.
The Hoops played to a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion on the road last weekend. Notably, they have conceded just five goals this term - the joint-fewest of any team in the division.
The hosts have split their three home games this term (W1 D1 L1), but they are unbeaten in their last three league matches against their upcoming opponents here at Loftus Road.
In contrast, Preston have limped out the blocks this season, currently second-bottom in the league standings with just three points after their first seven matches of the campaign (W1 L6).
The Lilywhites lost their last match 1-0 to Lincoln last week. They have scored the second-fewest goals in the league this season (6) and conceded the second-most (13).
The visitors have lost all three away games this term. Their last victory at this venue came in April 2023.
