Current streaks

Recent form

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers are currently enduring a difficult spell in the Championship, sitting in 23rd position with just 9 points from 12 games. The Hoops have not tasted victory in their last 9 matches, a concerning run that includes a streak of four consecutive defeats. Their most recent outings have shown slight improvement with back-to-back draws, including a goalless encounter with Burnley. QPR's attacking prowess has been particularly lacklustre, managing to score only 3 goals in their last 6 games, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per match. Defensively, they've also struggled, conceding 10 goals in the same period. The 3-1 home defeat to Hull City stands out as the highest-scoring game in this recent run, highlighting the team's vulnerabilities at the back. With 67% of their last 6 games featuring under 2.5 goals, QPR's matches have tended to be low-scoring affairs, reflecting their difficulties at both ends of the pitch.

Sunderland

Sunderland have been in impressive form recently, currently sitting atop the Championship table with 28 points from 12 games. The Black Cats are enjoying a strong run, having won their last three matches and remaining unbeaten in their last five. Their defensive solidity is particularly noteworthy, with three clean sheets in their last six games and conceding less than a goal per game on average. Sunderland's attack has also been potent, scoring 10 goals in their last six matches, averaging 1.67 goals per game. The team's resilience is evident in their ability to bounce back from their sole recent defeat against Watford, embarking on a five-game unbeaten streak. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring matches, the consistent performances and balanced goal distribution suggest Sunderland are in fine form as they aim to maintain their position at the top of the Championship.

Recent home/away form

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have been struggling at home, failing to secure a win in their last six matches at Loftus Road. The R's have drawn three and lost three during this period, with their most recent victory on home soil coming before this run. Notably, QPR have been consistent in scoring, finding the back of the net exactly once in each of these six games. However, their defensive frailties are evident, conceding 10 goals across these matches, with a particularly poor showing in their 3-1 defeat to Hull City. The team's inability to keep a clean sheet in any of these games is concerning, and with both teams scoring in all six matches, QPR's home fixtures have been entertaining for neutral spectators. Their goal difference of -4 over this period highlights the team's difficulties in outscoring opponents, which is reflected in their low league position of 23rd.

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Black Cats currently enjoying a two-game winning streak on the road. Their last six away matches have seen them alternate between victories and defeats, with no draws in this period. The team have shown their attacking prowess, scoring in five out of these six games, including a notable 3-1 victory against Portsmouth. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding in five matches and keeping only one clean sheet. The 3-2 loss to Plymouth Argyle stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, contributing to the fact that 67% of these games have seen over 2.5 goals. Despite the inconsistency, Sunderland's ability to bounce back from defeats and their current position atop the Championship table suggest they are a force to be reckoned with away from home.
