Queens Park Rangers - Lincoln City

Saturday at Loftus Road, Queens Park Rangers welcome Lincoln City for a matchday 15 Championship fixture. The hosts arrive looking to steady their rhythm after a difficult week, having suffered a heavy defeat to Southampton before securing a hard-fought draw against Burnley. With key figures Nicolas Madsen, Amadou Salif Mbengue, and Rumarn Burrell sidelined, the expected XI featuring Richard Kone and Koki Saito will need to rediscover the clinical edge that saw them put five past Swansea City recently.

Lincoln City travel to London aiming to arrest a slide that has seen them lose consecutive matches against Watford and Birmingham City. While they demonstrated their potential with a convincing victory over Burnley in late October, recent defensive vulnerabilities have proven costly. With Freddie Draper expected to lead the line, the visitors must tighten their structure to compete against a Queens Park Rangers side that remains dangerous when finding space.
