Stoke City, Recent FormStoke City had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Cardiff City. During that encounter they had 65% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 7 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Alex Neil will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. With no goals in 3 of their last 6 matches at home, they are showing signs of a problem finding the net at their home ground. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Neil of late, his defence having only notched up 1 clean sheet from their last 6 home games.
Stoke City will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Bet365 Stadium, they've lost their last 3 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 4 games.
Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormWith a 2-1 away win last time out against Burnley, Queens Park Rangers will be looking forward to this one, and there will undoubtedly be a mood of confidence among their squad. They came away from that fixture with a 19% share of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Burnley, who managed 21 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
Manager Gareth Ainsworth will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 5 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 36 of their 44 league games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Queens Park Rangers, Chris Martin will be looking to add more goals against Stoke City in this match.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
In their past 5 meetings, The Potters' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so QPR will have to take their chances when they come. QPR have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Stoke. Playing at home, Stoke have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against QPR.
In their last 3 league meetings, QPR have failed to record a victory against Stoke.
Stoke manager Alex Neil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jacob Brown (Leg), Matija Šarkić (Muscle), Axel Tuanzebe (Muscle) and Ben Wilmot (Back) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the QPR manager Gareth Ainsworth ahead of this clash, with Osman Kakay (Knee) missing out, which gives Ainsworth a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
