Recent form

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers are currently experiencing a concerning run of form, sitting in 22nd position in the Championship with just 7 points from 9 games. The team is on a three-game losing streak in the league, having failed to win any of their last six matches across all competitions. Their defensive struggles are evident, conceding 11 goals in the last 6 games (1.83 per game) and failing to keep a single clean sheet during this period. Offensively, QPR have been struggling as well, scoring only 4 goals in 6 games (0.67 per game). The recent 3-1 home defeat to Hull City stands out as a particularly disappointing result. Despite the overall low-scoring trend (67% of games under 2.5 goals), both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, highlighting QPR's vulnerability at the back even when they manage to find the net themselves.

In their last six games, they have failed to secure a single win, managing only two draws and suffering four defeats.
