H2H: QPR vs Nottingham - Prediction (Championship

Preview and Teams Comparison.

The home fans will be nervous, as their beloved Queens Park Rangers (QPR) have gone three home games without a win (D2, L1). Furthermore, QPR have shipped two or three goals in each of their last seven home outings, whilst conceding goals in both halves of their last three league fixtures here. Five games without a win for QPR (D2, L3) sees them as the league’s third-worst team over five Championship games. Conceding over 1.5 goals in each of those matches, the Rs’ matches have produced a league-leading 3.47 average goals-per-game so far. Additionally, both teams have scored in 13 of their 17 league matches.

In opposing form to QPR, Nottingham Forest have overseen three shutouts from six league matches. Still with just the one away league defeat this season (W4, D4, L1), Sabri Lamouchi’s men have only failed to score in two league trips and have seen the half-time result match the full-time one in six of their nine trips (HT: W2, D3, L1) – the same percentage as seen in QPR home games (HT: W2, D2, L2). Producing an average of 2.06 goals-per-game (total, all venues), Forest have seen a little over half of their away matches (five) decided by a one-goal margin; an odd dynamic considering the average of 3.00 goals per game (total) seen on their travels. But having netted just three of their 11 away goals in the first-half, Forest have conceded first in five of nine awaydays.

Players to watch: QPR’s Jordan Hugill and Nahki Wells have struck 18 goals between them, while Forest’s Joe Lolley and Matty Cash have two goals each so far and one H2H goal apiece against QPR.

Stat attack: QPR’s home league matches have all seen three or more cautions. Forest have scored three H2H goals in the 75th-76th minute in their last five trips here. Forest’s last four league fixtures have produced over 11.5 corners.
