QPR vs Millwall Predictions

• QPR have been beaten in five of their last seven
• The hosts have scored just three times since the restart
• Millwall have seen under 2.5 goals in 73% of their away trips and 100% of their visits to the bottom 10
• Five of Millwall’s seven away wins have finished 1-0, winning by that scoreline in three of their last four league games

Millwall stepping up on the road

Millwall are within two points of the playoffs and could pip former manager Neil Harris to a place in the post-season promotion chase with a strong finish. Gary Rowett has inspired an impressive run from the Lions, who have returned to form after some issues early on in the restart.

While Millwall have struggled for victories at the Den without supporters, they’ve been in fine shape heading to sides who lack their home support. Having won 3-0 at Forest in their last away trip before the league was paused, the Lions have put in some impressive defensive shifts since. Can they carry that form through this meeting with their struggling London rivals?

QPR waiting to start again

The hosts haven’t clicked since returning to action, with only Birmingham picking up fewer points than them since the restart. The Rs have lost five of their last seven games, something which we expect the Lions to prey on here.

QPR look like a side who want a breather and a chance to start again. They didn’t want to return so quickly after the campaign was halted, while they’ve returned looking well off the pace. The Rs have scored fewer goals than any side in the seven games since the restart, finding the net only three times.

Patient Millwall can edge Rs

Seeing QPR’s lack of goals should boost the visitors, who haven’t conceded a goal in their last four away trips. They’ve let in only a goal per game on the road all season, which has seen them finish with a string of low-scoring ties. They’ve seen under 2.5 goals in 73% of their trips, which has us bacing the same in our predictions for this clash.

The visitors have been quite solid against the lower sides, going unbeaten against the bottom 10. Their results against those sides read like something from the Matrix, with three 0-0 draws, two 1-0 wins and four 1-1 draws. Obviously 100% of those games have seen fewer than three goals and we expect the same against an Rs side who look lost in front of goal.

Meanwhile, the visitors can continue their good form and make another push for the playoffs. They’ve recorded back to back 1-0 away wins, while three of their last four Championship matches have seen them win by that scoreline. With five of their seven away wins coming by that score, we see them edging out the struggling hosts.
