History of the Queens Park Rangers v Burnley fixture

Q.P.R. play host to Burnley at Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rangers are clearly on top, winning 60.00% of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Q.P.R. was just over four years ago, in October 2000, with Burnley inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Rangers in a League Division One match.
