Recent respective form guides

Peterborough United's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Posh have scored 9, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

QPR's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in their last six, consisting of three wins and three draws. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the Rangers, and 1 goals against.

Peterborough are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 11 points from 13 matches. QPR are holding the final promotion place in the Nationwide League Division Two, and have accumulated 23 points from the 12 games they have played so far.
