Coventry v QPR

Coventry vs QPR Preview

Coventry City's impressive four-match winning streak in the Championship was finally brought to an end by the league leaders, Leeds United, last Wednesday night when the Sky Blues were dealt a 2-0 loss at home but the west midlands hosts will be looking to bounce back with all three points on Tuesday night when they entertain QPR at The Coventry Building Society Arena.

QPR returned to winning ways last Tuesday night when The R's registered a welcome 2-1 home win against Blackburn Rovers following recent back-to-back defeats and this recent victory has helped maintain the London visitors' 13th place in the Championship table.

Coventry City occupy 12th place in the English second tier table but the hosts find themselves only four points adrift of the play-off pack ahead of this upcoming midweek clash against fellow mid-table counterparts, QPR.

The Sky Blues had previously racked up four wins on the trot under new boss Frank Lampard which saw the hosts pick up vital wins against the likes of Bristol City, Blackburn Rovers, Watford and Swansea City respectively, so Tuesday night's hosts will still fancy their chances in this upcoming encounter.

In addition, Coventry City have suffered just the single defeat from their last eight home games in the Championship, while goals could also feature as six of their last 10 games at home have also resulted in both teams scoring.

QPR had previously slipped to two defeats on the trot in the domestic second tier as the visitors had succumbed to losses at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall respectively, but the overall picture has looked quite rosy for Martí Cifuentes's side as The R's have made themselves a tough unit to beat in recent times.

Indeed, QPR have been handed just three defeats within their last 16 matches overall in the Championship which includes an earlier 3-0 defeat away from home at Swansea City but also consists of nine wins and picking up points in four draws as well.

Within this encouraging sequence of results which spans the period from towards the end of November through to date, the visitors have also collected useful wins on the road at Cardiff City, Plymouth Argyle and Hull City, while goals also look set to make an appearance on Tuesday night as seven out of QPR's last 10 matches overall have seen both teams hitting the back of the net.

The straight win market may be best avoided here though as QPR have managed to pick up just three wins from their previous 13 outings on the road in the Championship.
