Blackburn vs QPR Match Preview

Blackburn is ranked at 5th place with 54 points and continues their awful shape as they are winless in the last five matches collecting two draws and three draws. Even in the last game against Sheffield Utd they missed a penalty and then went on to concede a late goal which resulted in another defeat. Now they really risk missing a playoff spot if they do not change something sooner or later.

With 45 goals scored so far, they have shown a decent offensive side but in the last five matches, they failed to score a single goal. The point is that have not played such bad football recently and in some games, they were quite unlucky. Also, the fact that they played four of the last five games on the road influenced their performances but now they are back playing in front of their fans.

Brereton, who is their best scorer with 20 goals - 1 assist, should not be able to play because of an injury but still with Gallagher 6 goals - 3 assists and Rothwell 3 goals - 7 assists Blackburn have enough firepower up front.

QPR, on the other hand, is ranked at 3rd place and has been having quite an impressive season so far. They come after a win two draws and two losses over the last five matches so in order to remain in the playoff zone they got to try and do better starting from now.

With 49 goals scored so far, they have one of the best offensive sides in the league, and in the last five matches, they scored a total of five goals averaging a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net on three occasions. In general, they are a team that likes to play more offensive football and in fact, they have conceded the most goals from the top 10 teams.

For them, Chair 8 goals - 3 assists and Willock 7 goals - 10 assists are having a very good season and I think they can be of big help now in order to try and achieve their goals.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Blackburn has got a good team and despite the bad momentum they are having, I fancy them to score a goal in front of their fans. They scored in each of the last five home games against these rivals. QPR is going to be with their best man in attack and I guess they should be able to score a goal too since their rivals failed to keep a clean sheet in three of the last five games.
