BetGenius backs Blackburn or Draw (Double Chance) at 74% confidence — a solid call. Total goals: Over 2.5 Goals.
Ewood Park hosts an intriguing early-season clash in the Championship as sixth-placed Blackburn welcome fifth-placed Queens Park Rangers. Both sides have collected four points from their opening two league fixtures, entering this round in the play-off positions and looking to build early momentum.
Blackburn have demonstrated sharp attacking efficiency in their opening fixtures, netting two goals in each of their first two league games, including a 2-1 home victory over Middlesbrough and a 2-2 draw against Wolves. Striker A. Guðjohnsen has led the line effectively with two goals, though the squad manages several fitness concerns with M. Baradji, M. Jorgensen, and S. Wharton among those sidelined.
QPR arrive in Lancashire having claimed a convincing 3-1 away win at Portsmouth alongside a goalless draw at home to Bolton. Playmaker I. Chair has been the central figure in their attack with two goals and an assist. In head-to-head encounters, these two sides have produced decisive outcomes with zero draws across their previous 10 meetings, though Blackburn hold the edge with six wins to QPR's four.
Combined scoring rate: 3 goals per game (Blackburn at home plus QPR away).
