Southampton, Recent FormSouthampton will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 away win against Plymouth Argyle. During that encounter they had 61% possession and had 19 attempts on goal with 9 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 15 shots on goal.
Whilst manager Russell Martin will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 15 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at St. Mary's Stadium, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 8 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Adam Armstrong will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Southampton.
Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormQueens Park Rangers will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Ipswich Town who sit so many places above them in the table. Their share of possession in that meeting was 38%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Ipswich Town had 16 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for QPR recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
The 0-1 victory which Southampton recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
In their previous 4 encounters with Southampton, The R's have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Southampton has won the last 2 games they've played against QPR in the league.
