Blackburn Rovers will host Queens Park Rangers at Ewood Park on Wednesday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The home side are enjoying a fine run of form at the moment after a poor start to their season and now sit 18th in the table with 19 points as they continue to push for the top-half of the pile.
They beat Preston North End 2-1 on the road last time out with Lewis Miller opening the scoring late in the first half before Iceland international Andri Guðjohnsen headed home the winner midway through the second.
Queens Park Rangers headed into the international break on the back of a four-game winless run but marked their return to action last weekend with a much-needed victory. They defeated Hull City 3-2 on Saturday, with Ilias Chair, Jimmy Dunne and summer signing Rumarn Burrell all finding the net to help get the Hoops’ campaign back on track.
The visitors sit three places and three points above their midweek opponents in the Championship standings and will be looking to widen that gap on Wednesday.

Blackburn Rovers vs Queens Park Rangers Prediction
The Rovers have won four of their last five games after going winless in their previous five. They have however been very disappointing on home turf this season and have work to do if they are to secure maximum points on Wednesday.
The Rangers snapped a four-game winless run with their win over Hull at the weekend and will be looking to build on that on Wednesday. They have been quite solid on the road of late and should have enough to avoid defeat here.
