Cardiff City 0-2 Queens Park Rangers

Current streaks

Recent form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the Bluebirds struggling to find consistency in the Championship. Despite sitting in 21st position, their last six matches have seen an even spread of results, with two wins, two draws, and two losses. Defensively, Cardiff have shown some resilience, keeping two clean sheets and conceding an average of just one goal per game. However, their attacking output has been modest, also averaging one goal per game. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have featured under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, low-scoring affairs. The 3-1 home defeat to Blackburn Rovers stands out as the highest-scoring game in this period, bucking the trend of their typically cagey encounters.

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers (QPR) are currently experiencing a challenging period in the Championship, sitting in 24th position with just 11 points from 16 games. The Hoops have not tasted victory in their last 13 matches, a concerning streak that highlights their struggles. Their recent form shows a tendency to draw games, with four of their last six matches ending level. QPR have been particularly goal-shy, netting only three times in their previous six outings, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they've shown some resilience with two clean sheets, but the 4-1 home defeat to Middlesbrough stands out as a particularly heavy loss. The team's inability to score more than once in any of these recent matches, combined with the fact that 83% of their games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggests a lack of attacking potency that needs addressing if QPR are to climb out of the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City have shown impressive form at home recently, with a notable run of four consecutive victories before their most recent defeat to Blackburn Rovers. The Bluebirds have been particularly strong defensively, keeping three clean sheets in their last six home matches. A standout performance came against Plymouth Argyle, where Cardiff City thrashed their opponents 5-0, showcasing their attacking prowess. Despite their recent loss, Cardiff have been prolific in front of goal, netting 11 times in their last six home games, averaging an impressive 1.83 goals per match. Their home form has been a bright spot, contrasting with their overall league position of 21st, suggesting they perform significantly better at Cardiff City Stadium than on their travels.

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have been struggling away from home, with their recent form showing a concerning trend. In their last six away matches, the R's have managed just one win, which came against Luton Town. The team has been particularly goal-shy on their travels, netting only three times in these six games, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per match. Defensively, QPR have also faced challenges, conceding eight goals and keeping only one clean sheet. A worrying run of three consecutive 2-0 defeats to Leeds United, Derby County, and Blackburn Rovers highlights their difficulties in both attack and defence. The low-scoring nature of their away games is evident, with 83% of these matches seeing under 2.5 goals. This poor away form has contributed to QPR's overall league struggles, as they currently sit in 24th position with just 11 points from 16 games.
