QPR vs Millwall Prediction 8 August 2026
🔊 A London derby opens the season before the league gets underway: on 8 August at Loftus Road the two sides meet in the first round of the League Cup. For Millwall the campaign is a special one - the club are heading into their tenth consecutive year in the Championship, the longest such run in their history. Queens Park Rangers will begin their journey at the same ground, a week before their league campaign starts.
Head-to-Head
📊 Last season belonged to Millwall: they won both meetings. In October at Loftus Road they took the victory (2:1), and in April at home they added another win (2:0). The picture was telling: Queens Park Rangers had 57% of possession, but conceded twice in the first 17 minutes and managed just one shot on target.
Head-to-head statistics QPR - Millwall
Queens Park Rangers Team Overview
Julien Stéphan's first season in London was a modest one. The Frenchman, who had previously worked at Rennes, took charge of the club in June 2025 and led the team to 15th place with 58 points.
The squad was significantly reshaped over the summer. Sam Field and Jean Célar left, Tariq Lamptey arrived, and goalkeeper Pierce Charles joined on loan. Pre-season went reasonably well: the team got some work in during a trip to Austria and beat Fiorentina (3:2) at home. Stéphan opens the new season with this very match - Queens Park Rangers don't start their league campaign until 15 August, away at Portsmouth.

Millwall Team Overview
Alex Neil has the club's best season in years behind him: third place in the Championship with 83 points and a play-off place. Hull City stood in their way in the semi-finals - a goalless draw away and a home defeat (0:2). Femi Azeez was the top scorer with 11 goals, and the average attendance at the Den rose to 17,135, the highest figure for the club since the 1952/53 season.
A separate milestone - captain Jake Cooper made his 400th appearance for Millwall, becoming only the sixth player in the club's history to reach that figure. Millwall begin their Championship campaign on 15 August in Bristol, so the cup match is something of a warm-up for them too.

⭐ Editor's Pick
The difference in class is clear: third place against 15th, 83 points against 58, and two wins in two head-to-head meetings last season. The bookmakers give the visitors a slight edge, and it's hard to argue with that. But both teams traditionally rotate in the first round of the League Cup, and no one will risk their first team a week before the season starts. We expect a workmanlike match where the visitors' class won't show immediately. The bet is both teams to score (yes). Predicted score - 1:2.
