Blackburn – QPR

Blackburn’s home defeat at the hands of QPR ended 1‑2, leaving the Rovers stuck in 15th place with just eight points from seven games. The visitors, now sixth with twelve points, sharpened their promotion push by securing their second win of the campaign and improving their goal difference to +3. The result widened the gap between the two sides, as QPR have already bested Blackburn in their only head‑to‑head meeting this season. Blackburn’s modest tally of ten goals for and against reflects a team still searching for consistency, while QPR’s tighter defensive record of five conceded underlines their growing solidity. The three‑point swing leaves Blackburn nine points adrift of the top half and reinforces QPR’s ambitions for a top‑four finish.
