Preston vs Queens Park Rangers

Current streaks

Recent form

Preston

Preston North End are currently experiencing a challenging run of form, having failed to secure a victory in their last five matches across all competitions. The Lilywhites have managed just one win in their previous six outings, with that solitary triumph coming against Portsmouth in mid-March. Their defensive frailties have been particularly evident, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game over this period and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last eight matches. Despite the team's struggles, Preston's fixtures have been relatively entertaining for neutrals, with 67% of their recent games seeing both teams score and the same percentage featuring over 2.5 goals. The FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Aston Villa stands out as a particularly disappointing result, with Preston conceding three goals without reply. Currently sitting 16th in the Championship table, Preston will be keen to arrest their slide and finish the season on a more positive note.

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have been struggling to find consistent form in recent matches, with only one win in their last six games. The Hoops have shown a tendency to draw, with three stalemates in this period, including a goalless affair against Cardiff City. Their defensive record has been somewhat shaky, conceding nine goals in six matches, although they did manage to keep a clean sheet against Cardiff. QPR's attacking output has been modest, averaging 1.33 goals per game, but they've been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals. The 3-1 victory over Oxford United stands out as their most convincing performance, breaking a winless run of four games. Despite their mixed form, QPR have been consistent in producing entertaining matches, with both teams scoring in 83% of their recent fixtures.

Recent home/away form

Preston

Preston North End have shown mixed form at home recently, with their last six matches yielding two wins, three draws, and one loss. The Lilywhites have struggled to find consistency, alternating between positive and disappointing results. Notably, Preston have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their impressive 3-0 FA Cup victory over Burnley and a 2-2 draw with Cardiff City. Defensively, the team have managed two clean sheets in this period, but their 3-0 loss to Aston Villa in the FA Cup stands out as a particularly poor result. Preston's goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging 1.33 goals per game, while their defence has conceded at a similar rate of 1.17 goals per game. Despite their inconsistent form, Preston have shown resilience, remaining unbeaten in their last three home league matches.

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have endured a torrid run of form away from home, suffering five consecutive defeats before finally breaking the streak with a 3-1 victory against Oxford United. The London side's away performances have been particularly concerning, with their last six matches yielding just one win and a worrying goal difference of -4. QPR have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these fixtures and conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game. Despite their defensive woes, the team has managed to find the back of the net in four out of six matches, contributing to a high-scoring trend with 67% of their away games seeing over 2.5 goals. The recent win against Oxford United, where QPR scored three goals, stands out as their most impressive away performance in this period, potentially signalling a turning point in their fortunes on the road.
