Q.P.R. face a trip to Nottingham Forest at City Ground on Tuesday evening, looking to break their duck against the hosts. The Rangers have crashed to defeat in more than half of the matches.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2009, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Championship match.
