Charlton will come up short this weekend and suffer a narrow defeat at QPR.

That is the view of Ian Holloway, who believes Rangers will clinch a 1-0 victory against the Addicks despite failing to win in three games.

The former Millwall and Crystal Palace boss, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, reckons the South Londoners will feel “flat” after seeing their relegation rivals picking up vital points in recent weeks.

Rotherham have won five of their last seven league games under Neil Warnock and currently sit six points above the drop zone, while Fulham are unbeaten in three.

“I really liked how QPR shaped up against Middlesbrough - that's the best I've seen them play this season”, Holloway, 53, said in his Sky Sports prediction column.

“They lost 3-2 but they were unfortunate. This should be a game they can win as Charlton must be flat as a pancake after seeing what Fulham and Rotherham have done in recent weeks.

“I've got to give the goal to Tjaronn Chery – he's bang in form.

“Give credit to Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink for that – Chery looks like he wants to play for him.”
