Queens Park Rangers Preview – Will the R’s make the play-offs?
Mark Warburton’s Queens Park Rangers had an indifferent campaign last time around. They made a sluggish start but really picked up in the latter months. QPR ended as one of the form teams of the division, winning four of their final five matches.
Rangers’ upswing in fortunes came too little, too late last season, but the Hoops will be hoping to get off to a flying start this year. Warburton has a decent squad of players at his disposal, and they could be one of the dark horses in the race for promotion this season.
QPR were excellent at home in the second half of last term, winning eight of their last 11 at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium. Can the R’s kick off the 2021-22 campaign this Saturday with a home win?
Millwall Preview – Can the Lions avoid an opening round defeat?
Like QPR, Millwall also had a topsy-turvy 2020-21 season. The Lions flirted with the play-offs once of twice, but inconsistency proved to be their Achilles heel. Gary Rowett’s side went on to finish in 11th place, collecting 62 points from 46 league games.
Millwall were not an easy team to beat last term. In fact, only five clubs sufferered fewer defeats. On the other hand, the Londoners picked up just 15 wins and were the league’s draw specialists with 17.

Millwall will be hoping to go under the radar in the promotion picture this term. They have an excellent manager in Rowett and are not short of talent on the field. Can the Lions kick off their new campaign with a good result on their travels this Saturday?
Queens Park Rangers vs Millwall Betting Advice
These two London clubs were involved in a five-goal thriller when they last met back in March. Millwall raced into a 2-0 lead before half time at Loftus Road, but QPR came out firing on all cylinders in the second period. Charlie Austin, Stefan Johansen and Jordy de Wijs scored to give the Hoops a 3-2 comeback win. It was less eventful at The Den a few months earlier, with the game ending 1-1.
