Our prediction for the Queens Park Rangers vs Blackburn match:
The "Hoops" have not been impressive for some time, and that was also the case last season when they finished 18th with 56 points. Blackburn was just one point behind, finishing 19th in the table.
However, both teams have shown improvement this season. Under Jon Dahl Tomasson, Blackburn has been more successful than not, although they are prone to dips in form. In late January, they suffered losses to Coventry, Oxford, and Bristol City before bouncing back with a win against Preston. QPR, on the other hand, has shown a noticeable improvement recently, although they've still experienced some setbacks, including losses to Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall.
The hosts have a mediocre record at home, scoring an average of 1.1 goals per game while conceding 1.3 goals. Blackburn scores slightly more, with an average of 1.13 goals per game but concedes just 0.97.
Key Statistics and Trends:
- QPR: Lost both of their last two matches.
- 60% of QPR's matches feature goals from both teams, with an average total of 2.4 goals per game.
- Blackburn: Lost three out of their last four matches.
