QPR is set to travel to John Smith’s Stadium for a clash with Huddersfield Town on Friday afternoon in the 42nd round of Championship. Kickoffs at 19:30 EAT.
After suffering back-to-back defeats against Millwall and Bournemouth without scoring, Huddersfield has since bounced back with successive victories without conceding against Hull City and Luton Town. Huddersfield, who have won four of their last five league games on Good Friday, have only lost one of their last eight meetings with QPR, but that solitary defeat was in the reverse fixture earlier this season when they lost 1-0 at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in November.
Huddersfield will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 2-0 Championship victory over Luton Town. In that game, Huddersfield Town had 45% possession, 11 shots with four of them on target and goals scored by Jon Russell (59′) and Naby Sarr (89′). Luton Town got seven shots with one of them on target.
QPR are now six points below the promotional playoffs and they won’t get too many chances to get back in contention for the top-six finish in the remaining five games of the season. Queens Park Rangers have thus scored just one goal in the last three league outings. They fell to the 11th place in the Championship table following a thread of five straight defeats.
QPR will aim to bounce back from 2-1 Championship loss to Preston North End in their previous encounter. In that game, Queens Park Rangers managed 51% possession 15 shots with seven of them on target and goals scored by Jimmy Dunne (42′ Own goal) and Andre Gray (93′). Preston North End got 20 shots with seven of them on target and a goal by Cameron Archer (50′).
