Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormQueens Park Rangers will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Ipswich Town with a 0-0 draw and a valuable point. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Ipswich Town who had 7 attempts and 5 on target.
Having conceded 5 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. This season they have failed to score in 12 of their 25 games, and of the 11 games they have played at home, they've conceded at least one goal on 8 occasions.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Cardiff City, Recent FormLosing 2-0 home to Leicester City won't leave the Cardiff City squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. They achieved 36% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Leicester City's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Goalscorer Aaron Ramsey will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Cardiff City.
Queens Park Rangers recorded a 1-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
QPR have scored in each of their last 8 games at home in the league against The Bluebirds.
Cardiff remains without a victory against QPR in their previous 3 league encounters.
Cardiff man Joe Ralls will be out for more of the same in front of goal in this match against QPR, having bagged 2 goals in the last 3 encounters between these sides at Loftus Road Stadium.
With only Jack Colback (Muscle) and Morgan Fox (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Martí Cifuentes will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Callum O'Dowda (Leg) and Aaron Ramsey (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Erol Bulut will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
