Cardiff City, Recent FormCardiff City had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Blackpool. Their share of possession in that meeting was 56%, while racking up 22 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target, in contrast to Blackpool, who had 9 shots on goal with 2 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a terrible run of form at Cardiff City Stadium recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.
Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormQueens Park Rangers will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Preston North End. In that game they recorded 48 of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 10 shots on goal.
Having conceded 8 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. Despite winning their last league game there have been some concerning signs recently, with them having failed to score in 4 of their last 6, so the fans will be hoping they have turned a corner. With 3 clean sheets in their last 6 away league matches, they have shown themselves to be a tough nut to crack away from home.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Chris Willock has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Cardiff City.
A defeat for Cardiff City in their last match against Queens Park Rangers was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 3 goals.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. The R's will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 6 encounters with Cardiff.
Cardiff has a poor track record in the league when they host QPR, losing in their last 2 home games.
Cardiff player Joe Ralls will be feeling confident about recording goals against QPR ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 3 goals from their last 5 meetings.
With only Isaak Davies (Knee) and Jaden Philogene-Bidace (Hernia) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Mark Hudson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
QPR manager Neil Critchley has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
