Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormQueens Park Rangers won't feel too deflated by the 3-1 away defeat to Middlesbrough, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. During that encounter they had 39% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 9 of their 12 shots on goal.
Despite scoring 4 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 13 goals in that same period. Finding the net regularly has been an issue for them in their home stadium, with zero goals scored in 3 of their last 6 matches. Gareth Ainsworth will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 9 games in a row.
A win for Queens Park Rangers is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 10 games.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormBlackburn Rovers enter this game with a comfortable 1-0 home win over Blackpool last time out in the league. In that game they had 61% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Blackpool who had 6 attempts and 0 on target.
They have taken just a small number of points from their past 6 matches, and while they have only let in 3 goals, it has been their unpredictable form in front of goal that has been their issue, with 5 goals netted in those 6 matches. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
There will be mixed feelings from Rovers, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.
On an individual basis, Bradley Dack will be looking to cause Queens Park Rangers some problems having scored 2 goals in Blackburn Rovers' last 6 away games in the league.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 1-0 win for Blackburn Rovers.
The Rovers defence has struggled at Loftus Road, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Loftus Road, Rovers have been unable to break through the QPR defence and find the back of the net.
Blackburn has won the last 2 games they've played against QPR in the league.
With 2 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against QPR at their home ground Loftus Road, Blackburn man Bradley Dack will be looking for more of the same in this one.
QPR manager Gareth Ainsworth has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Leon Balogun (Knee), Jake Clarke-Salter (Calf), Lyndon Dykes (Illness), Ethan Laird (Hamstring) and Chris Willock (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Jon Dahl Tomasson has a number of injury concerns in his Blackburn squad to contend with: Sam Barnes (Knee), Ben Brereton Díaz (Hamstring), Bradley Dack (Hamstring), Thomas Kaminski (Knee), Clinton Mola (Ankle), Adam Wharton (Ankle) and Scott Wharton (Calf)
