PREVIEW | QPR vs Charlton Athletic - team news, lineups, predictions | OneFootball

QPR and Charlton Athletic face off this Saturday at Loftus Road in Matchweek Four of the 2025/26 EFL Championship. The match will be broadcast live at 12:30 on Sky Sports +.

Languishing in 22nd place with only a point to their name this season, the Hoops will be reeling from the 7-1 defeat they suffered against Coventry City last time out, and Julien Stéphan's team need to respond against a well-drilled Charlton side, who will look to impose themselves on their crosstown rivals.

The Addicks have thus far accumulated four points on their return to the second tier, and they sit 14th in the table going into this one. In their last fixture, Nathan Jones's team suffered a 3-1 reverse against Cambridge United in the Carabao Cup, and the Welsh manager will be looking for a response from his side at Loftus Road.

The last meeting between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw.

The Fan Zone

Stuart Court (Cafc Facts and Stats): An excellent performance by Charlton versus Leicester last Saturday, but there were no points to take from it.

A trip to West London beckons for the Addicks who will be hoping for three points against a QPR side who suffered a shellacking against Coventry.

A full house once again in the away end and those fans will certainly make their voices heard

Prediction: 0-1
