Is QPR v Blackpool on TV? Streaming details, team news and betting odds

The Seasiders found themselves on the wrong end of a cruel 1-0 defeat to Swansea City on Saturday, conceding the decisive goal in the 87th minute of the game.

Despite the result, Michael Appleton’s side performed well and were the side looking more likely to win the game late on, only to be sucker-punched on the counter attack three minutes from time.

It means the Seasiders have begun the new season with a win and two defeats, leaving Appleton’s men in 17th place.

Tonight’s opponents QPR, meanwhile, have taken four points from their opening three league games.

Michael Beale’s side recovered from two goals down on Saturday to draw 2-2 with Sunderland, their last-gasp equaliser coming via the head of goalkeeper Seny Dieng.
