Queens Park Rangers form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium as Queens Park Rangers have scored 16 goals to get 21 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Championship are 6-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.
A strong away win for QPR against Derby County the last match, as Andre Gray and Christopher Willock were on target. The victory against Derby County came after Andre Gray's winning goal. The Queens Park Rangers manager M. Warburton was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 76th minute. Christopher Willock, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the best performer for the team in that fixture, earning a rating of 8.03 (out of 10). Willock scored one goal, hit two key passes and had 31 successful passes (of 37 total).
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Huddersfield Town in a game that was won 1-0.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how QPR have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won five, drawn two and lost four.
A decent goal production from QPR in their home games so far, with 16 goals from 10 league matches. QPR are not conceding a lot of goals here at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 10 matches.
Stoke City form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Championship travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.
Stoke are looking to quickly end their 180 minutes long goal drought in the Championship.
Stoke City might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Blackburn Rovers proved too strong as Stoke City slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Bet365 Stadium. Ben Wilmot, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.2. Wilmot won 4 of 7 duels.
Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Bristol City's place.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Stoke City playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were three Stoke City wins, six draws and five defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Stoke as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Stoke have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
