Blackburn Rovers vs QPR Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Blackburn Rovers Preview: Unbeaten But Can They Close In On The Top?

Blackburn Rovers Predicted Lineup - Aynsley Pears; Harry Pickering, Dominic Hyam, Danny Batth, Hayden Carter; Lewis Travis, Sondre Tronstad; Todd Cantwell, Tyrhys Dolan, Ryan Hedges; Yuki Ohashi

Blackburn are one of just three teams that remain unbeaten in the league this campaign. That being said they currently sit 4th in the table on 12 points.

Despite losing top scorer last season Sammie Szmodics to Ipswich Town they are still finding the back of the net efficiently as well. This season they have scored 12 goals in the league - this the second most of any team.

A big part of that goal scoring threat is striker Yuki Ohashi who has four goals in six games this year. This putting him joint 3rd in the EFL Championship top scorers list. If anyone is to impact this game it will surely be him.

QPR Preview: Finishing Touch Required

QPR Predicted Lineup - Paul Nadri; Kenneth Paal, Jake Clarke-Salter, Steve Cook; Sam Field, Nicolas Madsen; Paul Smyth, Lucas Andersen, Karamoko Dembele; Michael Frey

Currently QPR sit 14th in the league on seven points. However they have only lost one game this season - this at the hands of current top of the league West Brom on the opening day.

Despite this though they have only won one game drawing on four occasions suggesting that maybe they lack the finishing touch to go and win games. This something they will be keen to change in this match. If they can start picking up victories they could be in a much better place.

New signing Karamoko Dembele has impressed this season since joining the club. In fact he has created the 4th most chances in the division this season so far (15). If he can continue to do that going forward QPR could be on for a successful rest of the campaign.
