Queens Park Rangers 2-0 Oxford United

Current streaks

Recent form

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have shown a marked improvement in their recent form, despite their low position in the league table. The Hoops have gone unbeaten in their last four matches, including two wins and two draws, which represents a significant turnaround from their previous two consecutive losses. Notably, QPR have kept three clean sheets in their last six games, including an impressive 3-0 victory over Norwich in their most recent outing. This defensive solidity is reflected in their goals conceded per game average of 1.17. However, their attacking output remains a concern, with only 1.17 goals scored per game on average. The 4-1 defeat to Middlesbrough stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, but QPR have since tightened up at the back. With 67% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals, QPR's games have tended to be low-scoring affairs, which could be a sign of their cautious approach as they attempt to climb away from the relegation zone.

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent form has been concerning, with the club currently sitting in 19th position in the Championship. The U's have struggled to find consistency, winning just one of their last six matches. A notable concern is their defensive record, having conceded 13 goals in these six games, with a particularly heavy 6-2 defeat at home to Middlesbrough standing out as a high-scoring affair. Oxford are currently on a three-match winless run, which includes two consecutive losses before their most recent draw against Millwall. Their goal-scoring has also been an issue, with the team averaging less than a goal per game in this period. Despite these challenges, Oxford have managed to keep one clean sheet in their last six matches, suggesting there is still some resilience in their defence.

Recent home/away form

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers' recent home form has been a mixed bag, with their latest victory against Norwich City providing a much-needed boost. The R's have struggled to find consistency at home, managing just one win in their last six games at Loftus Road. Defensively, QPR have shown some resilience, keeping two clean sheets in this period, including a goalless draw against Sunderland. However, their 4-1 defeat to Middlesbrough stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair and a defensive low point. The team have been involved in some tight contests, with three of their last six home matches ending in draws. Despite their low league position, QPR have managed to score in five of these six games, demonstrating their ability to find the back of the net, albeit not consistently enough to secure more wins.

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the team currently on a concerning run of three consecutive away defeats. The U's have failed to score in their last three away matches, conceding a total of six goals in the process. Their last away goal came in a 2-2 draw against Luton Town, which was also their most high-scoring away game in this period. Oxford's defensive struggles are evident, having conceded in all six of their recent away fixtures and failing to keep a single clean sheet. The team's goal-scoring woes are equally apparent, managing just 0.67 goals per game on average. With only two draws and four losses in their last six away games, Oxford United are clearly struggling to find their footing on the road in the Championship.
