Both sides look for their first win of the season in Luton vs QPR.
20:00 Friday
With a less than ideal start to their Championship season, Luton Town welcome QPR to Kenilworth Road in search of their first win of the season.
Luton Town vs QPR Prediction
Luton were tipped as potential title contenders heading into the campaign, but Rob Edwards' men have endured a rude awakening.
The Hatters were beaten 1-0 by a struggling Preston side last weekend and lost to Friday's visitors QPR on penalties in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night. They are still winless in the Championship this season, although that run should end soon enough given their quality.
The Carabao Cup penalty shoot-out triumph was a welcomed moment of joy for QPR.
The London club are also waiting for their first Championship victory of the season and will hope to shake the disappointment of failing to beat a nine-man Plymouth side on home soil last Saturday.

QPR is Luton To Win, Both Teams To Score and Over 1.5 Shots For Zack Nelson was 16/1 best price with bet365 at the time of publishing.
Luton showed plenty of fight at Kenilworth Road last season. They lost just two of their 19 home matches by a margin of two goals or more.
Their form in front of their own fans this season will prove crucial in any success they have so Rob Edwards will be keen for his side to take all three points here after losing their opening home game.
The Hatters did the double over QPR the last time they were in the Championship. They ran out 3-1 winners in this fixture.
Both teams have scored in all five of QPR’s competitive matches so far this season and Luton have netted just one goal so far this season but their xG suggests they should have scored more.
Zack Nelson started Luton’s first game of the season against Burnley and had two attempts in that clash.
He also had a chance to shine in the EFL Cup and duly delivered. Nelson scored Luton’s only goal of the game and racked up a total of four shots.
