90 minutes away from officially booking an immediate Premier League return, Ipswich will welcome QPR to Portman Road on Saturday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, while Ipswich might have drastically failed to find any real fluidity over the past fortnight, Kieran McKenna’s men are sat in the driving seat to book an immediate Premier League return here. Opening their season finale this weekend holding a one-point buffer in silver medal position, the Blues are rightfully installed as a landslide contender on Saturday lunchtime. However, eventually snatching what was a thrilling 2-2 stalemate away at Southampton earlier in the week, the one-time Manchester United coach has seen his squad register just a single victory from their previous five Championship appearances. Forced to settle for another action-packed 2-2 stalemate at home against Middlesborough on April 14th, Ipswich have also collected just a sole point from three of their last four matchups at Portman Road. It’s also worth highlighting, the leading promotion contenders have mustered just three clean sheets from any of their last 11 straight outings.
As for the visitors, relinquishing their spot in the top-half of the Championship standings, QPR are certainly signing off the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of a real rut. Last seen falling to a frantic 3-2 defeat at home against play-off hopefuls Derby, Julien Stephan’s side look set for what is another stern examination this weekend. Including a 2-1 loss at the hands of Swansea on April 21st, the former Rennes boss has seen his struggling squad lose each of their previous three consecutive Championship appearances by an aggregate score of 7-3. Crashing back down to earth since their impressive three-match winning run on either side of March’s international break, QPR have also shown some glaring issues on the road. Including a 5-0 drumming against Southampton when signing off February, Saturday’s guests have won just a pair of their last 14 matchups outside of west London across all competitions – a rut that stems all the way back to November 26th.
