Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormQueens Park Rangers won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 away defeat to Leeds United, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. In that game they had 35% possession and managed 5 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Leeds United who had 16 attempts and 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Playing at home, they've conceded a goal in each of their last 9 games.
A home win for Queens Park Rangers is just a distant memory, having not won at Loftus Road Stadium in 9 games.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormThe Blackburn Rovers squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Coventry City, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 66%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Coventry City had 14 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 7 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 16 goals in the same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 9 of their 10 games overall.
Blackburn Rovers will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row.
Sammie Szmodics will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Blackburn Rovers.
The 1-3 victory which Blackburn Rovers recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
QPR have scored in each of their last 7 games at home in the league against The Riversiders.
QPR have lost the last 3 times they've faced Blackburn in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
With 2 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against QPR at their home ground Loftus Road Stadium, Blackburn man Sam Gallagher will be looking for more of the same in this one.
There is only really one injury concern for the QPR manager Gareth Ainsworth ahead of this clash, with Morgan Fox (Knee) missing out, which gives Ainsworth a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Jon Dahl Tomasson has a number of injury concerns in his Blackburn squad to contend with: Sam Gallagher (Calf), Ryan Hedges (Hamstring) and Aynsley Pears (Foot)
