Match Prediction: Queens Park Rangers 2-1 Millwall

Queens Park Rangers are coming into this match with a solid run of form, having won three of their last five games. They've shown they can grind out results, especially at home, and their recent 3-1 victory over Wrexham away from home suggests they're in good nick.

Millwall, on the other hand, have been a bit up and down, with a heavy loss to Coventry at home but a convincing win against West Brom. This game could be tight, but QPR's momentum might just give them the edge.

Millwall will look to exploit any defensive lapses from QPR, who have had a couple of draws recently. However, QPR's ability to score in their last few games could be crucial. If Millwall can keep it tight at the back, they might nick a point, but QPR's home advantage and recent form could see them take all three.

Queens Park Rangers have been in fine fettle lately, securing three wins in their last five outings. Their recent victory over Bristol City away from home shows they can handle tough challenges. With a solid defensive display against Oxford United and a knack for scoring, QPR look set to carry their momentum into this match. Their home form, especially the 1-0 win against Stoke, suggests they'll be tough to beat at Loftus Road.

• Draw: 0-0 vs Oxford United (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Sheffield Wednesday (A)

• Win: 1-0 vs Stoke City (H)

Millwall's form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with a thumping win over West Brom but a heavy defeat to Coventry at home. They've shown they can be resilient, drawing their last two away games against Swansea and Charlton. If they can tighten up at the back, they might cause QPR some problems. However, their inconsistency could be their downfall against a confident QPR side.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 3-0 vs West Bromwich Albion (H)
• Loss: 0-4 vs Coventry City (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Swansea City (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Watford (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Charlton Athletic (A)

The head-to-head record between these two sides has been closely contested recently. Millwall won the last encounter 2-1, but QPR have had their moments, drawing 1-1 and winning 2-0 in previous meetings. Out of the last five matches, Millwall have won three, QPR have won one, and there has been one draw, suggesting a slight edge to Millwall but with QPR capable of causing an upset.
