Queens Park Rangers vs Cardiff City

Current streaks

Recent form

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers are currently experiencing a poor run of form, having failed to secure a victory in their last six matches. The team's recent performances have been particularly concerning, with five losses and only one draw in this period. Their defensive record has been notably weak, conceding an average of two goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings. Despite struggling to win, QPR have managed to find the back of the net in most of their recent fixtures, with both teams scoring in 83% of these games. The matches have generally been high-scoring affairs, with over 2.5 goals occurring in 83% of the encounters. The 2-2 draw against Leeds United stands out as their most productive attacking performance in this run, while their heaviest defeat came in their most recent match, a 3-1 loss to Stoke City. With QPR currently sitting 15th in the Championship table, they will be eager to reverse their fortunes and end their six-game winless streak.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent form has been concerning, with the Bluebirds currently languishing in 21st position in the Championship. The Welsh side have endured a difficult run of four consecutive defeats across all competitions, including an FA Cup exit at the hands of Premier League outfit Aston Villa. Their last six matches have seen them concede 10 goals while scoring only 6, highlighting defensive frailties. Despite the recent draw against Sheffield Wednesday halting their losing streak, Cardiff have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings. Interestingly, 83% of their recent matches have seen both teams score, with 67% featuring over 2.5 goals, suggesting their games have been relatively high-scoring affairs despite their poor form. The solitary win against Blackburn Rovers on 15th March stands out as a rare bright spot in an otherwise challenging period for the club.

Recent home/away form

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have shown mixed form at home recently, with three wins, two losses, and a draw in their last six matches at Loftus Road. The R's have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with five of the six games seeing over 2.5 goals scored. A particularly impressive result was their 4-0 thrashing of Derby County, which stands out as their most convincing victory in this run. QPR have managed to score in five of these six matches, demonstrating their ability to find the back of the net consistently at home. However, their defensive record has been somewhat shaky, keeping only one clean sheet in this period. Despite their mid-table position, Rangers have shown they can be a formidable force at home, especially when it comes to goalscoring, with an average of 1.83 goals per game in their last six home fixtures.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Bluebirds struggling to find consistency on the road. In their last six away matches, Cardiff have managed just one win, two draws, and three losses, highlighting their difficulties in securing points away from home. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches and conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game. However, Cardiff have shown some attacking promise, scoring in five out of six games and averaging 1.33 goals per match. The 3-3 draw against Stoke City in the FA Cup stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, contributing to the fact that 67% of their recent away games have seen over 2.5 goals. Despite their struggles, Cardiff have demonstrated resilience by scoring in both of their most recent away fixtures, including a 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers, which could potentially boost their confidence for future away trips.
