QPR vs Leeds predictions

The Championship has reached a crucial stage of the season and there could be a key development at Loftus Road where relegation-threatened QPR can stand their ground against promotion-chasing Leeds.

Daniel Farke's Leeds returned to the top two on Monday with a thrilling 4-3 victory at Middlesbrough, but they are not quite in control of their destiny in the battle for automatic promotion.

Leaders Leicester need one more win to clinch an immediate return to the top flight and third-placed Ipswich require three more victories to seal back-to-back promotions.

The challenge for Leeds is focus on their own business and ensure they finish the month in a better fashion than they started it.

April losses away to Coventry and at home to Blackburn were sandwiched either side of a disappointing 0-0 draw at home to Sunderland, leaving Leeds at risk of missing out on a top-two finish.

The Yorkshire giants are targeting victory against QPR but they face a difficult task against opponents who are desperate to take the final step in their quest for survival.

The Hoops were in the drop zone from the start of October until late February, but they have gathered 21 points from their last 12 games to climb to the brink of second tier safety. However, Marti Cifuentes's side have some loose ends to tie up with four points separating them from the relegation places.

QPR supporters have been delighted by the turnaround and their backing can contribute to another strong performance and an increase to the points tally which could have huge repercussions at both ends of the division.
