• Fixture: QPR vs Ipswich

• Date: Saturday, 01 November 2025

• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT

• Venue: Loftus Road

QPR's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but they've shown they can nick a win away from home. They'll be looking to exploit their attacking flair against an Ipswich side that's had a mixed bag of results lately. If QPR can keep their heads and use their pace up front, they might just catch Ipswich napping.

Ipswich, on the other hand, have been solid at home but struggled on the road. They'll need to tighten up at the back if they want to keep QPR's forwards quiet. It could be a tight affair, but if Ipswich can find their rhythm early, they might just edge it.

QPR's recent form shows they can be unpredictable. They've managed to pull off wins against Swansea and Bristol City away from home, which is promising. However, losses to Derby and Millwall suggest they need to be more consistent. If they can bring their A-game, they've got a real shot at beating Ipswich.

• Loss: 0-1 vs Derby (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Swansea (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Millwall (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs Bristol City (A)
• Draw: 0-0 vs Oxford United (H)

Ipswich have had a decent run at home, beating West Brom and Norwich, but their away form has been shaky. Losses to Charlton at home and Middlesbrough away show they can be vulnerable against attacking sides. They'll need to be on their toes if they want to get anything from this game against a QPR side that's shown they can be dangerous.

• Win: 1-0 vs West Brom (H)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Charlton (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Middlesbrough (A)
• Win: 3-1 vs Norwich (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Bristol City (A)

The head-to-head record between QPR and Ipswich shows a mix of results. QPR have had the upper hand in recent years, winning 3-0 and 2-0 in 2018. However, their most recent encounters have been tighter, with a 1-0 win for Ipswich and a 0-0 draw in 2023. It's shaping up to be another close contest.

• Ipswich 0-0 QPR (29 Dec 2023)
• QPR 0-1 Ipswich (19 Aug 2023)
• QPR 3-0 Ipswich (26 Dec 2018)
• Ipswich 0-2 QPR (20 Oct 2018)

• Harry Clarke (Knee) - Out

• Predicted lineup: Nardi (GK), Dunne (DF), Cook (DF), Mbengue (DF), Norrington-Davies (DF), Varane (MF), Madsen (MF), Vale (MF), Kone (MF), Saito (MF), Burrell (AT)

QPR's predicted lineup suggests they'll rely on their attacking options, with Burrell and Kone looking to make an impact up front. Their midfield, led by Varane and Madsen, will need to control the game and feed the forwards.

• Predicted lineup: Walton (GK), Furlong (DF), O'Shea (DF), Kipré (DF), Davis (DF), Matusiwa (MF), Taylor (MF), Egeli (MF), Szmodics (if fit) (MF), Philogene (MF), Hirst (AT)

Ipswich's predicted lineup indicates they'll look to their attacking trio of Egeli, Szmodics, and Philogene to cause problems. Their defence, anchored by O'Shea and Kipré, will need to be solid to keep QPR at bay.

• Richard Kone vs Dara O'Shea: This will be a key battle between QPR's lively forward and Ipswich's experienced defender.

• Jonathan Varane vs Jack Taylor: QPR's creative midfielder will look to outwit Ipswich's hardworking midfielder in the middle of the park.

• Koki Saito (QPR): Saito's ability to score and create chances makes him a vital part of QPR's attack.

• Jaden Philogene (Ipswich): Philogene's pace and skill on the ball make him a constant threat for Ipswich.
