Queens Park Rangers

WLWWWW 📈

QPR go into this match following a 2-1 Championship win vs Bournemouth in their most recent match.

A succession of hard-working showings from the Queens Park Rangers defensive players has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their previous 6 outings combined. Over that same period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 8. That kind of pattern might not follow through into this next game, of course.

Going into this contest, Queens Park Rangers haven't been defeated in their previous 6 away league matches.
