Recent respective form guides

Queens Park Rangers have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 in the wrong end.

Bristol City's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Robins's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 5 against.

Q.P.R.'s 53 points from 39 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Bristol City lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 58 from their 39 games so far.
