Recent respective form guides

Bristol City's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Robins have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Q.P.R.'s away form is none too clever either, with an unbeaten run in the last six, four of them victories. Those games have seen the Rangers pummel 12 goals, and let in 3.

Bristol City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 12 games have yielded only 9 points. Q.P.R. are leading the way in the Npower Championship, with their 12 games giving them a return of 28 points.
