Burnley v QPR

Burnley vs QPR Preview

Burnley could only muster a point in their midweek clash in the Championship away from home at Hull City but nevertheless that result extended the upcoming hosts' unbeaten run to eight games, while QPR were also involved in a 1-1 draw at home against Coventry City during the week.

Burnley's solid run of results in the Championship have helped The Clarets move up into second place in the English second tier table where they trail Sunderland by a three-point margin but this could all change when Scott Parker's side play host to strugglers QPR on Saturday afternoon.

Four wins and four draws have underlined Burnley's consistency under Scott Parker and includes picking up important wins against Leeds United, Portsmouth, Plymouth Argyle and Sheffield Wednesday respectively.

Despite being handed an early season 1-0 loss away from home at Sunderland, that has been Burnley's only slip-up to date this term and having collected six wins within their opening 11 games overall, The Clarets look well placed to pick up maximum points at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.

In addition, Burnley have lost just twice in their last 10 home games in all competitions, five of which also resulted in over 2.5 goals being scored.

QPR produced a stubborn start to their Championship campaign as The R's were dealt just the single loss in their opening six games of the new season which came in the form of a heavy 3-1 loss at home to West Brom on the opening day of the season.

However, QPR have also managed to gain just the single win as well so far which came courtesy of a 2-1 win away from home at Luton Town but subsequent defeats at the hands of Blackburn Rovers, Hull City, Derby County and Portsmouth respectively have dumped QPR in early trouble down near the foot of the Championship table.

Indeed, the London club currently occupy second from bottom place in the division and three points adrift of fourth from bottom club Plymouth Argyle and safety ahead of this tough looking assignment up in Lancashire on Saturday afternoon.

Despite losing twice on the trot away from home, QPR's results away from home have actually not been that bad as the visitors have slipped to just four defeats in their last 15 outings on the road along with picking up six wins in the process, so The R's will be hoping they can rekindle the sort of form which guided them to safety at the end of last term.

Burnley v QPR Verdict

Burnley are unbeaten in their last six meetings at home against QPR and having picked up five wins within this period as well, The Clarets look favourites to grab the three points here at Turf Moor.
