Queens Park Rangers form and stats
Queens Park Rangers have collected 12 points from their Championship home games so far after 3-3-3. QPR are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Champion Hill Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.
QPR's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Reading (placed 5th). A 1-1 draw away before that, with Millwall the opponent.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for QPR as they are travelling to their away game against Wycombe Wanderers in the Championship. That match is four days after this one.
