QPR and Millwall Prepare for Key Clash at Loftus Road

London rivals Queens Park Rangers (QPR) and Millwall are set to face off at Loftus Road on Saturday in what promises to be a significant encounter for both teams in the Championship. The current season has been challenging for both sides, with each managing just a single win from their first five league matches.

QPR, currently on a four-match unbeaten streak following their initial defeat to West Brom, will go into this match with some confidence. Despite only converting draws into victories once this season, they are encouraged by their recent performances. QPR has historically maintained a good record against Millwall, having triumphed in their last two meetings with a 2-0 scoreline.

In contrast, Millwall’s season has seen harder times, struggling near the relegation zone with three losses so far. They have only been able to clinch victory once in their past five matches across all competitions. Their struggles have been exacerbated by a lack of goals, not helped by injuries to key players such as forward Josh Coburn.

Millwall head coach Neil Harris faces further challenges with several members of his squad unavailable due to injuries. Josh Coburn is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks with a calf injury. Similarly, Jake Cooper and Billy Mitchell also remain on the injured list.

The previous encounters between these two teams have frequently ended in 2-0 results, setting expectations for a similar outcome this weekend. Despite Millwall’s spirited efforts, QPR appears better placed to leverage recent form and claim another victory in front of their home fans.
