Hull City team news
As per HullLive, Belloumi has travelled down with the squad despite picking up a knock against Cardiff City. Recent recruit Joao Pedro could be included, whilst Charlie Hughes may return against Norwich City this weekend.
Andy Smith and Ryan Longman are out of action still. Dogukan Sinik is back training but probably won’t be risked.
Ivor Pandur has been Hull City’s number one so far this season, despite the arrivals of Brighton and Hove Albion loan man Carl Rushworth and Anthony Racioppoi.
Skipper Lewie Coyle has been a key man over recent times, whilst Alfie Jones and Sean McLoughlin will be the centre-back pairing again, with Finley Burns as back-up.
Walter has dropped Ryan Giles for right-footed Cody Drameh at left-back for the last two outings. Matty Jacob has fallen down the pecking order.
In midfield, the Tigers have plenty of options but are likely to go with Zambrano, Regan Slater and Marvin Mehlem. Kasey Palmer, Steven Alzate, Xavier Simons and Gustavo Puerta are other alternatives.
Hull City need to decide whether Belloumi is fit to play QPR. If not, Liam Millar or Abu Kamara will come in.
Omur has featured heavily recently and needs to start getting more goals and assists.
Up front, Bedia got his first goal since his loan switch from Union Berlin against the Bluebirds and should get the nod again. Mason Burstow and Joao Pedro could make an impact off the bench if needed.
