Competition: England Championship
Competition: Wed 20.January
Match begins: 19:00 (UTC)
Venue: Cardiff City Stadium (26828 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Cardiff City are in the 15th position while the guesting Queens Park Rangers worry at 20th.

Insights:
  • Cardiff City is in the worst form (1-0-5)
  • Queens Park Rangers have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Championship. This match was also played here at Cardiff City Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Queens Park Rangers have had more rest.

Cardiff City form and stats

Cardiff City have played 12 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-6 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Cardiff City are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Cardiff manager N. Harris might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Cardiff's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Norwich City (placed 1st). Prior to that, an away loss at Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.

The Cardiff fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 19 goals in 12 league matches. 16 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 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-5 (win-draw-lose).

Two travels in a row for QPR, whose manager M. Warburton could celebrate last time after the Championship win against Luton Town. The game before that, in the FA Cup, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Fulham (after extra-time).

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 17 goals have been conceded by Queens Park Rangers in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Queens Park Rangers - Cardiff 3-2 played earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Cardiff won two games, three matches ended with a draw and Queens Park Rangers has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: eight / two
