QPR have won six of their last eight home matches
Blackburn have scored only once in their last six away games
Recommended Bet: QPR to win
QPR sit in mid-table in the Championship but still have a chance of making the play-offs, an excellent win against league leaders Coventry at the end of last month demonstrating they have the potential to do so.
Blackburn are in the relegation zone and a lack of firepower is a major issue. They are without a permanent manager following the sacking of Valerien Ismael at the start of the month.
QPR beat Blackburn on their visit to Ewood Park in November and Rovers are unlikely to have the quality to gain revenge.
Team news
QPR's top goalscorer Rumarn Burrell remains injured and is not set to return until next month. The R's are also missing Kader Dembele, who is out for the season, and promising Peterborough signing Kwame Poku.
Adam Forshaw, Aynsley Pears, Matt Litherland and Ryan Hedges remain on the sidelines for Rovers.

Prediction
QPR's fans are used to being entertained at Loftus Road, the R's having scored 20 goals in their last eight home games, and there's no reason why they will not be celebrating again come 5pm on Saturday.
The absence of top-scorer Burrell is a blow for the home team, but there remain sufficient attacking options.
Centre-forward Richard Kone has found the back of the net on seven occasions, while Rayan Kolli has made an impact when coming off the bench.
The R's have been impressively attack-minded at home while at the same time being organised at the back - as the midweek 0-0 draw away to Charlton midweek demonstrated.
Veteran Steve Cook has been outstanding in the last few games alongside skipper and fellow centre-half Jimmy Dunne.
Young QPR keeper Joe Walsh makes the odd rookie error, but it's unlikely he'll be tested too much by Blackburn anyway.
Rovers' caretaker boss Damien Johnson got off to a good start when beating lowly Sheffield Wednesday at home at the start of the month, although the performance was hardly impressive.
They were beaten 2-0 away by fellow strugglers Norwich last week, failing to register a single shot on target, which is not that surprising when you consider Blackburn have scored only twice in their last six away matches.
