Recent respective form guides

Crystal Palace's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Eagles have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Q.P.R.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Rangers have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Crystal Palace are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 13 points from their 15 games thus far. Q.P.R. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 14 points from 14 matches.
