Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormQueens Park Rangers will have been reasonably pleased with their 0-0 draw against Sunderland, not least because of the valuable point gained. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Sunderland's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
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 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Watford. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 27 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Watford had 14 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have failed to score in their last 3 games in a row, and so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 31 of their 38 games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
Ahead of this match, QPR won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in their last 3 meetings against The Blues.
QPR have failed to manage a victory in their last 3 encounters in the league against Birmingham.
In front of goal, Scott Hogan has scored 2 goals in the previous 3 league matches for Birmingham against QPR at Loftus Road Stadium and will be confident of getting more of the same this time out.
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.
Tony Mowbray has a number of injury concerns in his Birmingham squad to contend with: Krystian Bielik (Groin), Alfie Chang (Cruciate ligament) and Marc Roberts (Knock)
