Recent respective form guides

Queens Park Rangers have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Rangers have scored 9, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Scunthorpe U.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Iron have hit 7 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Q.P.R.'s 34 points from 26 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Scunthorpe U. find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 30 points from their 26 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Q.P.R. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Rangers will at least gain a draw. Score draw

Sequence statistics:
Q.P.R. Not won in the 5 most recent games.
Scunthorpe U. No sequences of note
