With their 0 point advantage in the league table, Queens Park Rangers fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Birmingham City.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Queens Park Rangers form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Queens Park Rangers have to build on here at Champion Hill Stadium in the Championship.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 180 minutes without scoring a league goal. M. Bonne was the last player to find the net.
Queens Park Rangers's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Preston North End (placed 15th). A 0-0 draw away before that, with AFC Bournemouth the opponent.
This is expected to be a close game, with QPR perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Queens Park Rangers as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Queens Park Rangers has won three of these, drawn two and lost nine.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for QPR as they are travelling to their away game against Barnsley in the Championship. That match is three days after this one.
Queens Park Rangers are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. On the other hand, QPR have conceded 3 goals.
Birmingham City form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Championship for Birmingham City with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.
Birmingham City have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 205 minutes ago. H. Dean was the goal scorer.
There might be some fixture complaints from Birmingham City as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Championship match against Norwich City (0-1). Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Sheffield Wednesday.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Birmingham in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Birmingham City, three draws and three defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Birmingham City are hosting Huddersfield Town in the Championship only four days away.
Goals are few and far between in Birmingham City's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. Birmingham are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
