QPR vs Hull City prediction, H2H and probable lineups - November 22, 2025
One of the key fixtures of the 16th round in the English Championship will take place this Saturday at Loftus Road in London, where the local Queens Park Rangers will host Hull City. Let's break down the best bet for this clash, factoring in the current form of both teams.
Match preview
After a promising start to the campaign, QPR have noticeably lost momentum. The team went into the international break winless in four consecutive rounds and struggling to find confidence in attack. Despite a change of manager in the summer, consistency remains elusive—especially at home, where they've collected just 8 points from seven matches. Their most recent outing ended in a goalless draw against Sheffield United, offering only minimal consolation after a run of three straight defeats.
The Rangers’ main issue has been a shaky defense, particularly when facing top opposition. They conceded seven goals in just three rounds before the break. With the league table tightly packed in the middle, QPR desperately need to start picking up points to avoid sliding toward the relegation zone. The return of several players from injury could provide a boost, but a win over such a strong opponent still looks uncertain.
Hull City, by contrast, entered the November break in high spirits, having won five of their last seven league matches to climb to fifth place. Despite a single November setback against Derby County, the Tigers quickly bounced back with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Portsmouth, once again showcasing their attacking prowess. Under new head coach Jakirovic, the team has found a solid balance between defense and attack.
Even with several key absences due to injury, Hull City have demonstrated tactical flexibility and impressive squad depth. Their forward line has especially stood out, with three different players finding the net in their last match. A win in London would further solidify their top-six spot and close the gap on the leaders, so expect maximum motivation from the visitors.
Probable lineups
- QPR: Hamer, Dunn, Cook, Mbengue, Field, Varane, Madsen, Vale, Burrell, Chair, Kone
- Hull City: Pandur, Coyle, Egan, Hughes, Giles, Slater, Hadziahmetovic, Gelhardt, Crooks, Joseph, Destan
Match facts and head-to-head
- Hull City have won 5 of their last 7 Championship matches.
- QPR are winless in their last four home games.
- The last three meetings between these teams have seen both sides score.
Prediction
Given the visitors’ strong current form and QPR’s poor home record, Hull City look well placed to take all three points. Their attack is organized and effective, while the hosts are still searching for stability. We believe Hull City should avoid defeat in this one.
