Team analysis: QPR
The home team currently occupies 15th place, with a total of 53 points from 13 wins, 14 draws, and 17 losses. In their penultimate match, they secured a 2-1 victory against Preston North End. However, in their most recent outing, they were defeated at home by Swansea City with a score of 2-1. This team has shown little variation in performance depending on the venue, accruing 29 points at home (31 goals scored and 29 conceded) and 24 points on the road (21 goals scored and 29 conceded). In this campaign, QPR has gained 15 points from 30 available at home, with 4 victories, 3 draws, and 3 defeats. They have allowed goals in 9 of their last 10 matches, reflecting a lack of defensive solidity, although their attack has managed to score in 8 of those 10 games. At home, there is a noticeable trend for goals, with 20 of their last 22 Championship matches exceeding 1.5 goals. Out of 44 matches in this competition, QPR has only turned around the score after conceding first on three occasions in the 24 matches they faced that situation.
QPR enters this clash following their recent 2-1 defeat against Swansea, ending a four-match unbeaten run in the division; their only goal was netted by Karamoko Dembélé. The home side typically employs a 4-3-3 formation that promotes a measured and structured style of play. Karamoko Dembélé, Rayan Kolli, and Michael Frey are likely to be instrumental in threatening the opposition’s defence. Missing from this match will be Koki Saito, Zan Celar, Harvey Vale, Jake Clarke-Salter, and Ilias Chair due to various injuries.
