Recent respective form guides

Queens Park Rangers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Rangers's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Cardiff City's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.

Q.P.R. see themselves just below half way in the Coca Cola Championship, showing a record of 29 points from their 25 games played so far, Cardiff City's 35 points from 25 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
