The Hoops to battle the Rams in the EFL Championship.

Queens Park Rangers are all set to host Derby County on matchday 33 of the EFL Championship 2024-25 season. The Hoops are in the 13th spot but a win can get them to the 10th spot in the league table. The Rams after their lacklustre performances find themselves in the 21st place in the table.

Queens Park Rangers will be at home but will be slightly low on confidence as they lost their last league fixture against Coventry City. It was a close match but Queens Park Rangers were unable to net any goals leading them to drop three points. The Hoops will be looking to jump back to the winning ways.

Derby County were held to a goalless draw by Oxford United in their previous English League Championship outing. They attacked very well but did not reach any goals. A win will take them a spot up in the league table and they will not be looking to lose more points here. They have not won any of their last five league games.

Jerry Yates (Derby County)
