QPR take on Millwall in the sixth round of games in the EFL Championship on Saturday. Both sides have won just once in five games as they look to climb up the standings.
Marti Cifuentes' QPR are coming off a 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup third round in midweek. Eddie Nketiah gave Palace a first-half lead before Sam Field equalized eight minutes after the break. However, Eberechi Eze scored the winner 11 minutes later to eliminate the Hoops.
Cifuente's side drew 1-1 at Sheffield Wednesday in their last Championship outing. Both teams scored in stoppage time, with Alfie Lloyd's 96th-minute equalizer forcing a share of the spoils for QPR, who are 12th in the standings with six points.
Meanwhile, Neil Harris' Millwall are also coming off a loss in their previous outing, a 1-0 home defeat to Luton Town in the Championship last weekend. A Teden Mangi 10th-minute strike was enough to sink the Lions, who lost for the third time in five games to drop to 18th in the points table, two points behind QPR.
