Plymouth Argyle vs QPR Match Analysis & Prediction
09/04/2024 9:45 pm
Looking to secure back-to-back wins in their quest for second-tier safety, Plymouth Argyle will host fellow strugglers Queens Park Rangers at Home Park on Tuesday night in the Championship.
The Pilgrims’ life under interim stewardship with victory at Rotherham United on Friday night, while QPR slipped back towards danger following defeat to Sheffield Wednesday a day later.
Following a woeful six-game winless run which brought an end to Ian Foster’s time in the managerial hotseat in Devon, Plymouth returned to winning ways for the first time since late February during Friday night’s Championship match, narrowly beaten League One-bound Rotherham 1-0.
Having parted ways with former England youth coach Foster after just 87 days as manager, the trusted duo of Kevin Nancekivell and club director Neil Dewsnip are in charge of first-team affairs at Plymouth until the end of the campaign, tasked with keeping last season’s League One champions in the Championship.
Wins for Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town over the weekend mean that Plymouth have failed to pull significantly away from trouble despite their victory over the Millers on Friday, with the Green Army currently 19th in the Championship table, just two points ahead of 22nd-placed Birmingham City.
Meanwhile, QPR were unable to make it three successive Championship wins for the third time this season, with head coach Marti Cifuentes taking full responsibility as his side suffered a 2-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, handing the Owls a massive boost in their battle for survival.
With five matches left to play in the Championship campaign, QPR are sitting in 17th place in the league standings, but they are just four points ahead of Birmingham in the highest of the relegation spots, meaning that the R’s will likely need at least another win to secure safety.
QPR have been forced to rely heavily on their away form this seasson as they desperately attempt to avoid third-tier football, with Cifuentes’ side collecting just 21 points from as many matches at Loftus Road this campaign – only whipping boys Rotherham (19) have secured fewer points in front of their respective home faithful.
Plymouth Argyle vs. QPR Head to head
In the 19 previous meetings between these two teams, Plymouth have claimed six victories while QPR have won five, and they have drawn in eight. QPR have scored 22 goals and conceded 23 in the process.
