QPR take on Preston in their opening game of the 2025-26 Championship<\/a> season. The game will take place at Loftus Road on Saturday, 9th August, with the action kicking off at 3 pm. Only six points separated these two teams in the table at the end of last season, with Rangers managing a 15th-place finish, while North End could only manage 20th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QPR to Win (7\/5 with Sky Bet<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Preston finished last season just one point above the relegation zone. The Lancastrians went on a run of eight games without a victory to finish 2024-25, and they will hope to start the new campaign in much better form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Preston have not fared well against QPR in recent years, with the London club doing the double over them last season. QPR have now won four consecutive matches against Preston and can take three points once again in front of their own fans in this curtain-raiser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ali McCann to be Carded (3\/1 with BetMGM<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Varane made the switch to London from Sporting Gij\u00f3n in August 2024, and has been a regular in the lineup, with 39 Championship appearances and 9 yellow cards in the 2024\u201325 season, plus 1 red. He averaged over a foul a game in this second-tier last term and was also booked in his only appearances in the League Cup. Odds are yet to be released, but after, I’d recommend taking anything north of 7\/2, once the prices are available.<\/p>\n\n\n
