The highly-anticipated match-up between Wrexham and Queens Park Rangers is set to ignite passions this Saturday. Slated for a 15:00 kick-off, the encounter is especially remarkable as it marks the first league meeting between the two sides since the 2003-04 season in the third tier, where QPR emerged victorious in both games with a clean 2-0 scoreline each time. The stage is set for an engaging showdown at Wrexham's home ground, with both teams riding high on recent victories.
Wrexham, also known as the Red Dragons, are looking to bag three consecutive wins in all competitions — a momentum built from their notable 2-0 win against Millwall. Simultaneously, they're eyeing to secure back-to-back victories in the second tier for the first time since those historic wins back in March 1982 against teams like none other than Chelsea and Bolton Wanderers. Key player Kieffer Moore is a force to reckon with, having scored three goals in his last two league appearances, aspiring to add more to his streak.
On the other side, QPR, rejuvenated by a 3-1 triumph over Charlton Athletic, are on the hunt to extend their own success with consecutive league wins, replicating their outstanding start in 2025 where they recorded four straight victories. Historically, QPR has shown dominance over Wrexham, with an impressive record of four wins out of the last six away league games at Wrexham, drawing one and losing just one.
The fans can feel the weight of history and the hunger for a memorable match. While revisiting the past encounters lends a psychological edge, it is the present form that both teams will aggressively contest to outshine each other. As a passionate supporter of QPR, the belief in our lads to carry the day is as solid as ever, reminiscent of the glory days of the 70s and 80s.
This particular fixture holds promise not only due to the past records but also as a testament to this season's aspirations. Both teams have showcased their potential and resilience so far, and a victory here could be pivotal in setting the tone for the remainder of the season. For QPR, every match is a step closer to the championship dream, a reiteration of our commitment to returning to our previous heights.
To wrap it up with a bit of humour aimed at our friendly rivals: How many Chelsea fans does it take to change a light bulb? Just one, but they'll need a world map to find where Wrexham is after we’re done showing them how it’s really done!
