After winning their last two matches, QPR now have a six-point cushion above the relegation zone with six games remaining. They will aim to secure a third consecutive victory to solidify their position in the league.

In contrast, their opponents are also looking to climb out of the relegation zone in order to secure their place in the Championship after being promoted last season. Sheffield Wednesday has struggled this season, consistently being in the bottom three and currently sitting in 23rd place with 39 points from 40 games. Under new management, they initially showed improvement but have since struggled to maintain momentum. Despite a brief winning streak, they have only earned one point in their last four matches. Following a recent loss to Middlesbrough, they are now two points away from safety with six games left to play. It is crucial for Sheffield Wednesday to secure a victory in their upcoming match to enhance their chances of avoiding relegation.

Sheffield Wednesday Predicted Lineup

 Beadle, Diaby, Ihiekwe, Famewo, Valentin, Bannan, Vaulks, Johnson, Poveda, Ugbo, and Gassama could start.

Queens Park Rangers are expected to have a full squad available for Saturday's important match, with only Rayan Kolli, Taylor Richards, and Marti Cifuentes being absent due to injury. It is likely that Cifuentes will keep the same starting lineup that secured an away victory against Swansea on Monday. There is tough competition for attacking positions in the team's 4-2-3-1 formation, with new signings Michael Frey and Lucas Andersen hoping to earn starting spots. 

Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday is dealing with multiple injuries, including Josh Windass, Callum Paterson, Kristian Pedersen, and Juan Delgado. Key defender Di'Shon Bernard is also expected to miss the upcoming match. Ian Poveda and Djeidi Gassama could return to the starting lineup for Sheffield Wednesday, replacing Bailey Cadamarteri and Anthony Musaba. Ike Ugbo is likely to lead the attack for Sheffield Wednesday.

Queens Park Rangers are in good form and are expected to secure a win against Sheffield Wednesday, who have been struggling recently.
