Preston North End will be hoping to bounce back here after a 2-1 Championship defeat last time out to Leeds United.
The only name on the scoresheet from Preston North End was Kaine Kesler-Hayden (6'). Manor Solomon (4') and Jayden Bogle (13') scored for Leeds United.
It has been all too rare in recent games where Preston North End haven’t conceded. The facts show that Preston North End have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 11 goals along the way. We will just have to see whether or not that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.
Their past results show that Preston North End:
- have not registered a win against Queens Park Rangers in their previous 3 league matches.
- have not been beaten in their last 14 league matches at home. It really has been a fortress.
- haven’t won at home in the past 2 league games.

Queens Park Rangers have attacked well in their most recent fixtures, having scored 8 goals in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Queens Park Rangers can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same clashes.
Ahead of this meeting, Queens Park Rangers remain unbeaten by Preston North End when they've played them away from home in the last 2 league games.

ℹ️ Team News: Preston North End
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom to be concerned about from a near full-strength group. Josh Seary (Knee injury) is out of contention.
🗞️ Team News: QPR
QPR boss Martí Cifuentes has not got a full squad to pick from. Zan Celar (Hamstring injury), Jake Clarke-Salter (Hip injury) and Harvey Vale (Back injury) will miss out on this game.
⚡ Prediction
When taking all factors into account, Queens Park Rangers have the ability to find the back of the net against this Preston North End side, although that might not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We’re tipping a close game with a 2-1 win for Preston North End after the 90. It’s a very tough call.
