When Queens Park Rangers take on Millwall in an English Championship match on Tuesday, they’ll be looking to improve upon their surprise defeat to Barnsley last weekend with kickoff at 10:45 pm.
The away side still occupies the fourth position in the Championship standings. However, they should be cautious about playing Millwall, who have played better in recent matches.
However, having gone down 2-0 to Posh in the FA Cup fourth round, QPR manager Mark Warburton has seen his team twice give up a lead here at Loftus Road against Middlesbrough and lose to Barnsley, who occupy the final relegation spot.
Forest is still in a strong position—fourth, with a five-point lead over seventh—but several clubs behind them have greater momentum.
As long as results keep going their way, Warburton will not panic, but he is aware that they must get back to winning ways as soon as possible if they want to hold an advantage over the chasing pack.
Millwall is currently on the cusp of being out of the playoff race, but prevailing from this game would be the first step to turning their season around and gaining respect from the teams above them.
After starting 2022 with four successive defeats in all competitions, Gary Rowett’s side has since posted two wins and a draw from their last four outings.
