Cardiff City prepare to entertain Queens Park Rangers at Ninian Park on Friday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bluebirds are clearly on top, having won 15 and lost only 7 of the 29 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ninian Park was less than a year ago, in March 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
