The team failed to win any of their last five friendlies, despite the modest level of opposition, and began the official season with a League Cup exit to West Ham (1:3). John Mousinho's side conceded three times in seven minutes, which speaks to the defensive line being far from its best.

Julien Stéphan's side strengthened mainly through free agents, with a particular focus on the defensive flanks, where Dennis Cirkin and Tariq Lamptey arrived.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Portsmouth come into the Championship opener with huge motivation to get revenge for the heavy defeat in the second leg of last season's campaign. There are reasons for optimism, as QPR have not won in seven consecutive official matches. But Portsmouth are not in optimal shape either, so there is a strong chance the match will be a hard-fought one and will deliver goals at both ends, as was the case in the four previous head-to-head meetings. Most likely, the two sides will not find a winner. Predicted score - 1:1. The best bet is both teams to score (yes).
