Recent respective form guides

Crystal Palace's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.

Q.P.R.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Rangers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 13 goals for and 12 against.

Crystal Palace find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 23 points from their 20 matches. Q.P.R. find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 24 points from their 20 matches.
