The Hoops are starting to deliver the results.

Queens Park Rangers have made a good start to 2025 starting the calendar with a win against Watford. They are set to take on Luton Town at Loftus Road in round 26 of the EFL Championship action. A victory will further see them climb up in the standings.

Queens Park Rangers have made an encouraging start to 2025 securing a 3-1 victory over Watford. With this win, the Hoops have climbed up to 15th. Marti Cifuentes’s side had a good December month, securing three wins, two draws and losing once in six matches. It has been quite an improvement for them as they are regularly scoring goals while also conceding very few goals.

Luton Town on the other hand have struggled to win games on the road. The Hatters have lost three consecutive matches in a row as they languish in the 20th position in the EFL Championship, two points safe of relegation zone. Their start to 2025 hasn’t been great either after losing to Norwich City in the last match.

They are now set to take an in-form QPR side before facing Nottingham Forest one week later in the FA Cup. Lack of confidence in the squad coupled with their inability to score goals has become a major problem for them lately.

Players to Watch

Jimmy Dunne (Queens Park Rangers)

Jimmy Dunne continues to mesmerize everyone with his performances this season. The towering centre-back has been a rock at the back for Queens Park Rangers this season. Despite being a defender, he is currently leading the goalscoring charts for them which shows the threat he brings to the table.

Dunne is slowly emerging into one of the best centre-backs in the division with his ability to read the game and put in timely challenges to help the team.

Carlton Morris (Luton Town)

Despite Luton Town struggling at the moment, Carlton Morris has continued his impressive run of form scoring three goals in his last six matches. He is currently leading the goal-scoring charts for Luton Town this season with seven goals. Morris is four goals shy of breaking his last season’s tally of 11 goals with half of the season still to play. It shows the impact he is having on this team despite failing to inspire them to victories in recent matches.
