MATCH PREVIEW
A victory for Cardiff City on Saturday would seal their play-off place and leave Neil Warnock's Queens Park Rangers side still not mathematically safe from relegation.
Mention the play-offs to either set of fans and they will immediately recall Cardiff's dramatic win against Rangers at the Millennium Stadium in 2003, which clinched promotion to the second tier.
But more recently, the Bluebirds have not fared well against Rangers, who have taken seven points from the last three league meetings between these clubs and kept clean sheets in all three games.
Only West Brom have scored more away goals this season than Cardiff, but Loftus Road has generally not been a happy hunting ground for them. City have lost on 13 of their last 17 league visits, and failed to score in nine of their last 12 games there.
