Blackburn take on the visitors QPR in the round 1 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Saturday, July 30th at Ewood Park (Blackburn).
Blackburn starts a new eraю. The Tramps were in the middle of the Championship last season. They ended up finishing in 8th place. A good result despite the fact that recently the ex-champion of Foggy Albion played in Premier League. But there are still ambitions, and they are trying to realize them through the invitation of Tomasson. Jon-Dal is still known as a top striker, but he showed a good coaching level in Malmö in 2021-2022. He took trophies in Sweden and took his wards to the group stage of the Champions League. It is noteworthy that, having released many players, Rovers have so far practically not been making signings - only Brittan from Barnsley was acquired, and Ethan Walker was picked up as a free agent.

QPR is already habitually perceived as the middle peasant in the division. The Hoops still remember how they played in the Premier League, even without much success. Of course, they wanted to go back there, but it didn’t work out. Yes, and there was no chance: in the 7 years that passed after the most recent departure from the Premier League, they never rose above 9th place. And in the last season, they finished outside the top ten. Now Michael Beal has become a coach, for whom this is the first such experience of independent work. Note that the once-star, but already very old football players, Charlie Austin and David Marshall, have left. And so far, the reinforcements have been modest, such as Paal, who came for free from Zwolle, or 24-year-old Clark-Salter, who was left without a contract with Chelsea. The loans for Roberts and Richards were extended again. It is unlikely that this will seriously impress progress on the field.
For the past 3 seasons in a row, the teams have been steadily exchanging victories. It is noteworthy that they win in their own arenas. By the way, already three times, starting from 2021, the final score was strictly 1-0. Queen Park Rangers don't look like a team that has grown stronger yet, although it will be interesting to see Beal's work as head coach. Blackburn has a new coach to debut - we believe he will start with a win.
Prediction for the match: Blackburn to win.
