The next several preseason friendly opponents will be much harder than the Ligue 2 team Pau, who held Toulouse to a scoreless tie in their first encounter. Although QPR is an improvement over Pau, Carles Martinez’s squad will meet two European powerhouses—RB Leipzig and Sevilla—later in preseason. Martinez has stabilised a team that was relegated from the top flight at the beginning of the decade, and they have finished in the middle of the league in all three seasons since making a return to Ligue 1. After ending last season with eight points out of a possible twelve, there is confidence that they can build upon their success and aim for the top half of the league. Martinez not only helped them restore and keep their top-flight status, but he also brought them a trophy and European football.

Ten years after their last season in the Premier League, QPR will be looking to make a triumphant comeback this coming season. However, the optimism of the supporters is low as the new campaign begins. Following Marti Cifuentes’s departure at the conclusion of last season, Leicester City have hired Julien Stephan to fill the vacancy and improve upon their 15th-place result. The new manager of QPR has a history against Toulouse, having played for both Rennes and Strasbourg. Stephan also had a short stint at Toulouse in the 2001–02 season. following a 5-0 victory over Stevenage just a few days before, Stephan will be looking for significant improvements from his team following last weekend’s 6-0 thrashing by Castellon, a second-tier Spanish club. Prior to facing Preston North End on August 9, QPR will play further friendlies at home against Cardiff City, Heerenveen, and Brentford in the next weeks.
