Birmingham City, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Birmingham City players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Blackburn Rovers. In that game they had 57% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Blackburn Rovers who had 5 attempts and 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. It's clear that with only 2 clean sheets from the last 6 matches at home, John Eustace will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormQueens Park Rangers head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 home win against Wigan Athletic in their last league encounter. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Wigan Athletic, who had 11 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Michael Beale will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
This has been a great run of form for them over the past 6 matches, during which they've managed to secure 5 victories.
Lyndon Dykes will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Queens Park Rangers.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 1-2 win for Queens Park Rangers.
The last 3 matches between Birmingham and The R's show that Birmingham have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
QPR has won the last 2 games they've played against Birmingham in the league.
Birmingham manager John Eustace has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Harlee Dean (Muscle), George Friend (Leg), Nico Gordon (Leg), Przemysław Płacheta (Ankle) and Marc Roberts (Leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the QPR manager Michael Beale ahead of this clash, with Chris Willock (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Beale a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
