Stoke City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-1 away defeat by Blackburn Rovers will have left the Stoke City squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with 63% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Blackburn Rovers managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Their boss Steven Schumacher is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 4 goals scored. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 4 games and only kept 2 clean sheets.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormQueens Park Rangers will have been reasonably pleased with their 2-2 draw against Norwich City, not least because of the valuable point gained. In that game they recorded 44 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 12 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they have failed to score in 7 of their 15 games this season.
They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.
It was one to forget for Stoke City last time they met Queens Park Rangers in the league, falling to a 4-2 defeat.
The QPR defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Potters in the league, with QPR conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing away from home, QPR have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Stoke. Playing away from home, QPR have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Stoke.
Stoke have lost the last 2 times they've faced QPR in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
There is only really one injury concern for the Stoke manager Steven Schumacher ahead of this clash, with Josh Laurent (Ankle) missing out, which gives Schumacher a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
There is only really one injury concern for the QPR manager Martí Cifuentes ahead of this clash, with Rayan Kolli (Leg) missing out, which gives Cifuentes a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
