Q.P.R. face a trip to Cardiff City at Ninian Park on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rangers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2008, with Cardiff City running out comfortable 3 - 1 winners in a Championship match.
