Every season there seems to be a side who runs away with the title and by the looks of things so far, QPR could well be that team this year. The R’s are already six points clear at the top of the table and just can’t stop scoring – with twenty three goals to their name already. Millwall have pulled up a few surprises this term though and with the added spice of this being a London derby, don’t be surprised if they give the home side a few problems here.
You can run out of superlatives describing QPR’s season so far and it looks as though Neil Warnock is well on his way to adding another promotion to his C.V. The R’s financial power was always going to give them a huge advantage once they got the right man in charge and in Warnock, they have someone who has seen everything in this division. Having played eight games and collected an astonishing twenty two points, it’s been an almost perfect start for the Loftus Road outfit. They still have a 100% home record and having bagged twenty three goals this term and accumulated a goal difference of +20, their form so far can’t be described as anything other than unbelievable.
Millwall on the other hand started the season in excellent fashion although in recent weeks their form has slipped slightly. Most newly promoted sides usually start the season successfully and with that, manager Kenny Jackett will be hoping the good early form wasn’t just down to a honeymoon period. The Lions are now without a win in their last five and having lost their last three, the club are on something of a slide. One of those defeats was a 6-1 defeat to Watford and with that, cracks are beginning to show at the New Den. However, they still sit in a respectable position of 12th and having accumulated eleven points from the opening eight games, it’s still been a reasonable start for Jackett’s men.
As for team news, QPR look set to be without the two players as Bradley Orr and Alejandro Faurlin struggle with calf and groin injuries respectively. Millwall don’t have too much to report either and Kenny Jackett just has the one issue to contend with as Liam Trotter sits out following his red card against Cardiff at the weekend.
When a team is on a poor run of results, the last thing they need is a trip to a QPR side who are making a mockery of the division. The R’s are clear favourites for this one and while Millwall have caused a few surprises this season, we think QPR will be far too strong in this one. Warnock’s men will continue their 100% home record and record a comfortable 3-0 win here.
