Sunderland vs Queens Park Rangers

Current streaks

Recent form

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent form has taken a concerning turn, with the Black Cats currently enduring a four-match losing streak in the Championship. Despite their fourth-place position in the league table, the team's attacking prowess has faltered significantly, managing to score only two goals in their last six matches, resulting in a meagre average of 0.33 goals per game. Their defensive record, while not disastrous, has seen them concede six goals during this period. A notable statistic is the high frequency of low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's last victory came against West Brom on 5th April, and they have since gone five games without a win, a streak that could potentially jeopardise their promotion aspirations if not addressed promptly.

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have experienced a mixed run of form in their recent matches, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team's defensive struggles are evident, having conceded 10 goals in these six matches, including a heavy 5-0 defeat to Burnley in their most recent outing. This loss to Burnley stands out as a particularly high-scoring game and marks the beginning of a concerning two-match losing streak for QPR. Despite their inconsistent form, the R's have shown some attacking prowess, scoring in five of their last six matches and notching three goals in their away victory against Oxford United. However, their inability to keep clean sheets, with only one in the last six games, is a worrying trend that has contributed to their current 15th position in the Championship table.

Recent home/away form

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent home form has been a cause for concern, with the Black Cats struggling to find consistency at the Stadium of Light. Despite their lofty league position, they have lost three of their last six home matches, including their two most recent outings against Blackburn Rovers and Swansea. Notably, Sunderland have failed to score in their last two home games, which is particularly worrying given their low goals-per-game average of just 0.67 over the past six matches. Defensively, they have been relatively solid, conceding less than a goal per game on average, but clean sheets have been hard to come by with only one in this period. The majority of Sunderland's recent home fixtures have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of these games featuring fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tight, cagey encounters at the Stadium of Light.

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have shown a dramatic turnaround in their away form, winning their last two matches on the road after enduring a four-game losing streak. The Hoops have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with five of their last six away games featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their recent upturn in form, QPR's defence remains a concern, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six away fixtures and conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game. Their 3-1 victory against Oxford United stands out as their most impressive away performance, showcasing their attacking potential. However, their overall away record remains mixed, with their goal difference of -2 reflecting their inconsistent performances on the road. The fact that both teams have scored in 83% of these matches suggests that QPR's away games are often entertaining affairs for neutral spectators.
