Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Queens Park Rangers & Rotherham United face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the EFL Trophy. That game was also an away game, at Crewe Alexandra. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Queens Park Rangers form and stats

Last season, QPR's FA Cup journey ended in the 3rd round.

The story so far in the Championship for Queens Park Rangers at their home stadium (Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium) is 6 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

Happy days for QPR in their previous game, a Championship match away at Birmingham City that ended with a 2-1 victory. Midfielder Wallace was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.22 (out of ten) in that game. Wallace served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

In the game before, an away victory in the Championship match versus Bristol City with a 2-1 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how QPR have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won seven times, drawn four and lost two.

The QPR fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 12 matches. QPR have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Rotherham United form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Bromley and Stockport County in order to reach 3rd round of FA Cup. They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the 3rd round.

As the visiting team in League One matches, Rotherham United have produced an overall stat of 6-3-2 so far.

Two travels in a row for Rotherham, whose manager Warne could celebrate last time after the EFL Trophy win against Crewe Alexandra. A loony fixture with plenty of goals last time out for Rotherham United, as mentioned above. 6 goals in total, will this game be as full of joy?

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Bolton Wanderers in the League One.

Rotherham are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and four defeats. From a total of seven matches.

Rotherham have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 13 goals have been scored. Rotherham's manager Warne has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 4 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: four - one - three (QPR wins - draws - Rotherham United wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
