Queens Park Rangers form and stats
5 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Queens Park Rangers have to build on here at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in the Championship. The home stadium (Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Queens Park Rangers it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
QPR are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 212 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Dunne).
The Queens Park Rangers club members got no joy from their last match, also played here at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium: A 0-3 defeat against Luton Town (placed 7th). Paal was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.4 out of 10. The defender Paal hit one key pass and won 10 of 11 duels.
Before that, Queens Park Rangers played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Cardiff City.It should be added that a peek at the 11 latest league games reveals that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).
The QPR fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Queens Park Rangers have conceded 16 goals.
