Sheffield Wednesday will host Queens Park Rangers at the Hillsborough Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts will be keen to build on their last result and finally get going after a poor start to the season.
Sheffield were hardly the better side but managed to get a much-needed 2-0 win over Portsmouth last weekend to mark their first win of the new season after losing four of their opening five games. The Owls earned a comfortable mid-table finish last season but now sit in second-to-last place, having struggled to get results this season and will be hoping to build momentum from last Saturday’s win.
QPR also started the season poorly with two losses and a draw from their opening three games, but have since turned things around, winning each of their last three league games. The visitors earned a narrow 1-0 victory over Stoke City last time out thanks to a Harvey Vale winner and will be in high spirits when they make the trip to Sheffield this weekend.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Queens Park Rangers Prediction

The Hoops will rely on their solid recent form to get a result but will need to be more solid defensively to get more than a point on Saturday.
