QPR vs Derby: match facts, form and head-to-head – 14 October 2026, Championship

QPR host Derby in what promises to be a clash of ambitions, with the London side sitting sixth on 12 points after three wins and three draws, boasting a solid 8‑5 goal difference. Derby, languishing near the foot of the table in 22nd place with just four points from one win and one draw, have struggled defensively, conceding 13 times while finding the net only six. The stark contrast in form suggests QPR will look to extend their unbeaten run and tighten their grip on the upper half of the table, whereas Derby will need a miracle to climb out of the relegation zone. Historically the two have met sparingly, but the current disparity in results makes the home side the clear favorites heading into the fixture.
