Queens Park Rangers suffered a 2-1 loss to Millwall in their last game, with Alfie Lloyd scoring the only goal for the team in the third minute, two minutes after they had conceded. They have now lost two games in a row, including a 2-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday. However, they have won five of their last six games at home. They sit 14th on the table with 38 points in 30 games, scoring 33 goals and conceding 39. They are one of the worst-performing teams at home this season, having picked up 20 points. Only Stoke City (19) and Hull City (12) have picked up fewer points. In the treatment room, Jake Clarke-Salter (hip), Karamoko Dembele (unknown), Lucas Andersen (calf), and Zan Celar (hamstring) are all out of this game.
Blackburn Rovers
WLLLW
Blackburn Rovers returned to winning ways with a 2-1 win over Preston North End in their last game. Makhtar Gueye scored the first goal in the 39th minute before Mads Frokjaer-Jensen doubled the lead in the 78th minute but failed to keep a clean sheet, conceding in the dying minute of the game. The Rovers had endured a 3-game losing run prior to this win, and I think John Eustace needs to do extra work to restore the team back to their old form in their fight for promotion. They sit 5th on the table with 45 points in 30 games, scoring 34 goals and conceding 29. However, Arnor Sigurdsson (thigh), Harry Pickering (knee), Hayden Carter (knee), Scott Wharton (cruciate ligament), Sondre Tronstad (hamstring), Yuki Ohashi (ankle), and Zak Gilsenan (muscle) are all out of this game due to injuries.

Expert Betting Tips
Blackburn recently bounced back to winning ways, but I don’t think I can trust them yet. They have promotion in their sight but are not playing like such, and with the current form of the hosts, I doubt the Rovers can have free points here. With this, I expect a share of points with goals from both sides.
