Current streaks

Recent form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth have shown a marked improvement in their recent form, securing back-to-back victories in their last two matches after a challenging spell. The team's resilience is evident as they've bounced back from a three-match winless run, which included two losses and a draw. Defensively, Portsmouth have tightened up, keeping two clean sheets in their last six games, a positive sign given their position in the league table. The 5-1 defeat to West Brom stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair and a significant setback. Despite this, Portsmouth have managed to score in four of their last six matches, demonstrating their ability to find the back of the net consistently. Their recent upturn in form could be crucial as they look to climb away from the lower reaches of the Championship table.

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have displayed mixed form in their recent matches, currently sitting 13th in the Championship table. The Hoops have shown inconsistency, alternating between wins and losses in their last six games, with no draws during this period. Their most recent outing saw them secure an impressive 4-0 victory over Derby County, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring match and their only clean sheet in the sequence. QPR have been involved in several exciting contests, with 67% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their mid-table position, the team have maintained a positive goal difference in their last six matches, scoring 1.5 goals per game whilst conceding 1.17. Their ability to find the net has been consistent, with both teams scoring in half of these fixtures, suggesting that QPR are capable of producing entertaining football even if their results have been somewhat unpredictable.

Recent home/away form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth have displayed impressive home form recently, with four wins in their last six matches at Fratton Park. The Pompey have been particularly strong in front of their own fans, scoring 11 goals whilst conceding only 4 in this period. Their most notable performance came in a resounding 4-0 victory over Swansea on New Year's Day, demonstrating their attacking prowess. Portsmouth embarked on a three-match winning streak at home before a narrow loss to Millwall interrupted their run. Despite their current 18th position in the Championship, their recent home performances suggest they're a formidable force on their own turf, with 67% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals, indicating entertaining matches for the Fratton faithful.

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have shown mixed form away from home, with their last six away fixtures resulting in two wins, one draw, and three losses. The Hoops have struggled defensively on their travels, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet in this period. Their attack has been somewhat more productive, scoring 1.17 goals per game on average. A particularly noteworthy match was their high-scoring FA Cup defeat to Leicester, where they conceded six goals in a 6-2 loss. QPR have shown some resilience, managing to secure back-to-back wins against Plymouth Argyle and Hull City in January, but have since suffered consecutive defeats to Millwall and Coventry City. The team's overall away form suggests they are finding it challenging to consistently perform on the road, which may be a concern for their Championship campaign.
