This league season has been demanding for Cardiff City up to now, while Queens Park Rangers have done well. Will the visitors triumph again at Cardiff City Stadium?
- Cardiff City have the fewest scored goals in the first half (0) in Championship
- Queens Park Rangers have the most scored goals in the second half (19) in Championship
Cardiff have less rest than Queens Park Rangers in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Championship game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Stoke City, so at least Cardiff are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Cardiff City form and stats
With 1 Championship win, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Cardiff City are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's been an uphill battle for Cardiff in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Millwall game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
Cardiff drew their last game, 3-3 away at Stoke City (placed 9th). Cardiff salvaged the draw from a difficult situation against Stoke City, trailing 0-3 at one point. Not giving up resulted in Kieffer Moore equalizing. A goal frenzy last time out for Cardiff, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Stoke City. Fun stuff to watch! Midfielder Ryan John Giles was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.83 (out of ten) in that game. Giles signed up for two assists and hit two key passes.
Before that game, the home loss against Middlesbrough with the scoreline 0-2.Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Huddersfield Town are coming to town in three days.
Cardiff have scored 5 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.
Queens Park Rangers form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Queens Park Rangers so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of QPR, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
QPR delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Nottingham Forest (placed 18th) in their previous match; a Championship game. Midfielder Albert Adomah was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.4. Adomah served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times.
A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Sunderland (after extra-time, 1-3 on penalties) in the Carabao Cup.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the QPR manager M. Warburton as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Blackpool.
The travelling fans enjoy Queens Park Rangers's attacking play in away games, having scored 13 goals in 7 league matches away. The Queens Park Rangers manager M. Warburton has some worries about the defense as 15 goals have been conceded in these travels.
