Millwall vs QPR prediction: Millwall 1-1 QPR (6/1)
Millwall Vs QPR Preview
After a goalless draw at West Brom and a surprise 2-1 home defeat to Norwich, Millwall will be desperate to get their automatic promotion hopes back on track in SE16. The Millwall vs QPR odds do favour a home win but the Lions have started to be tamed in recent weeks.
On the road, Alex Neil’s side have taken five points from the Baggies, Ipswich and Middlesbrough. However, their nervy home form is a cause for concern. And with QPR currently enjoying a five-game unbeaten run, the R’s will believe they can continue their good run against their London rivals on their own patch.
Having never enjoyed the fruits of the Premier League, Millwall know how vital it will be to secure the points in-front of their passionate fans. A win will ensure they spend the night back in second place but promotion-chasing Ipswich would have two games in hand.
As for the Super Hoops, a play-off push is out of the equation this term. Julien Stephan’s first season at Loftus Road has gone reasonably well and a top-half finish is the best the Frenchman can deliver. Saturday’s clash will certainly be a lively affair, with the Rs keen to thwart their hosts top-flight aspirations.
Millwall Vs QPR H2H Record
