Recent respective form guides

Queens Park Rangers have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 8 to 7.

The away form of Cardiff City is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While the Bluebirds have hit 4 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Q.P.R.'s 1 points from 1 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Cardiff City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 0 points from 1 matches.
