History of the Queens Park Rangers v Bristol City fixture

Bristol City face a trip to Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Robins will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 20 and win only 7 of the 38 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in February 2008, with Q.P.R. running out comfortable 3 - 0 winners in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Queens Park Rangers have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 in the wrong end.

Bristol City's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Robins's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 5 against.

Q.P.R.'s 53 points from 39 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Bristol City lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 58 from their 39 games so far.
