Cardiff v QPR

Cardiff vs QPR Preview

Cardiff City earned a valuable point away from home at Sheffield Wednesday on the weekend in the Championship which halted previous back-to-back defeats at the hands of Luton Town and Blackburn Rovers.

QPR were also involved in a 1-1 draw at home with Stoke City but nevertheless, The R's have now failed to win any of their last 12 games overall in the English second tier, leaving the London club sitting bottom of the Championship table.

Cardiff City have now lifted themselves out of the relegation zone for the time being following that draw on Saturday and The Bluebirds now occupy 21st place with a one-point cushion above the bottom three heading into this midweek fixture at their Cardiff City Stadium.

Prior to the recent back-to-back losses to Luton Town and Blackburn Rovers, Cardiff City had put together a promising six-game unbeaten sequence in the Championship under manager Omer Riza as The Bluebirds had collected four wins along with two draws.

Victories over the likes of Millwall, Plymouth Argyle, Portsmouth and Norwich City were all registered on home soil at the Cardiff City Stadium and these will give the Welsh hosts plenty of confidence as they look to pull away from the relegation zone with a win here on Wednesday night.

QPR's winless run in the English second tier was extended to 12 games overall despite a 1-1 draw at home against Stoke City on the weekend, but this upcoming trip to Wales looks like being another tricky assignment for The R's.

Six draws within these previous 12 games have been overshadowed by slipping to six defeats as well within this period and three of these six losses have been incurred on their travels at the likes of Blackburn Rovers, Derby County and Leeds United respectively.

The bigger picture shows QPR have managed to register just four wins from their previous 22 matches overall in the Championship which is indeed a wretched record and underlines the problems that the London club have had in terms of producing consistent results.

In addition, QPR have now failed to win any of their last five outings on the road, slipping to three defeats along with also failing to hit the back of the net in their last four games on their travels, firing blanks at Blackburn Rovers, Derby County, Burnley and Leeds United respectively.

Cardiff City v QPR Verdict

Both Cardiff City and QPR have struggled to string consistent results together in the Championship so far this season but out of these two sides, it is Cardiff City who look the more likely to grab the all-important three points at the Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday night and pull away from the relegation zone.
