Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by Wigan Athletic will have left the Queens Park Rangers squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Wigan Athletic, who had 8 shots on goal with 4 on target.
With 4 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 14 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. Keeping a clean sheet at home has not come easy this season, and Gareth Ainsworth will not be happy with his team's defensive record, which shows they have shipped one or more goals in 16 their 17 home matches.
With 5 defeats in their last 6 outings, they will be looking for a significant change in their current run of form.
Preston North End, Recent FormPreston North End enter this game with a comfortable 3-1 home win over Blackpool last time out in the league. In that game they recorded 49 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 12 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. When playing away from home this season, they have notched up a respectable 9 clean sheets.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
The Preston North End travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Ched Evans, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
It was one to forget for Preston North End last time they met Queens Park Rangers in the league, falling to a 0-1 defeat.
The Lilywhites have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with QPR.
QPR manager Gareth Ainsworth has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Leon Balogun (Knee), Ilias Chair (Hamstring), Jake Clarke-Salter (Calf), Osman Kakay (Knee), Ethan Laird (Hamstring), Kenneth Paal (Knee) and Chris Willock (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Greg Cunningham (Knee) and Emil Riis (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ryan Lowe will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
