Blackburn vs QPR: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Blackburn vs QPR in the Championship. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 19:45 GMT match.

• Fixture: Blackburn vs QPR
• Date: Wednesday, 26 November 2025
• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT
• Venue: Ewood Park

Blackburn's recent form has been impressive, with four wins in their last five games, showing they can handle both home and away challenges. They've been particularly strong on the road, securing three victories in their last three away matches. This suggests they'll come into the game with confidence, likely looking to exploit QPR's recent defensive frailties, especially after QPR's three losses in their last four games. Blackburn's attacking trio of Morishita, Ohashi, and Guðjohnsen could be key in breaking down QPR's backline.

On the other hand, QPR have shown they can be dangerous at home, as evidenced by their recent 3-2 win against Hull City. However, their away form has been less convincing, with a draw and a loss in their last two away games. QPR will need to tighten up at the back if they're to stand a chance against a confident Blackburn side. The midfield battle will be crucial, with Dembélé and Varane needing to control the game to give QPR's attackers like Kone and Burrell the chance to make an impact.

Blackburn have been in fine form, winning four out of their last five games, which should give them a significant boost going into this match. Their ability to secure victories away from home, including against strong teams like Leicester and Southampton, suggests they're not fazed by the challenge of playing on the road.

This confidence could be crucial against QPR, especially given their recent defensive struggles. Blackburn's attacking line has been in good shape, and they'll be looking to continue their scoring form.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 2-1 vs Preston (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Derby (H)

• Win: 1-0 vs Bristol City (A)

• Win: 2-0 vs Leicester (A)

• Win: 2-1 vs Southampton (H)

QPR's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five games. Their home form has been their saving grace, but their away performances have been less convincing, which could be a concern heading into this match against a confident Blackburn side.

The Hoops will need to improve defensively, having conceded multiple goals in three of their last five games. If they can shore up at the back and get their key players like Kone and Dembélé firing, they might have a chance to upset Blackburn.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 3-2 vs Hull City (H)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Sheffield Utd (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Southampton (H)

• Loss: 1-4 vs Ipswich (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Derby (A)

The head-to-head record between Blackburn and QPR has been closely contested recently, with Blackburn recording three wins to QPR's two. Blackburn's most recent win was a convincing 4-0 away victory, while QPR's latest triumph was a 2-1 home win.

This suggests that both teams are capable of beating each other, making the upcoming match unpredictable given past results.
